Developing Effective Directors for a Global Context

Today’s supervisory boards have to contend with a host of new pressures, challenges and risks. Held ever more accountable for their organisation’s performance and vitality, they must also set its strategic direction, often across diverse product markets and geographies, while evaluating the performance of the CEO and senior executives, as well as monitoring the firm’s risk profile.

In discharging these complex duties, directors must master a huge volume of information in a very limited timeframe. And it is not unusual for seasoned directors to serve on multiple boards and committees, each with its own set of regulatory and oversight challenges.

The INSEAD International Directors Programme is a unique educational experience that aims to develop more effective directors. Set within an international context, the programme is aimed at current directors who bring specific competences and credibility to the boards on which they serve and at senior executives and professionals preparing themselves for a board mandate and whose contributions will enhance the programme’s learning environment.

Key Benefits

• Understand the broader context in which boards operate and the responsibilities that come with a board mandate
• Provide an overview of the knowledge and competences expected from directors in today’s environment
• Develop skills that contribute to the creation of an effective board culture and performance
• Hone the ability to challenge executives through positive exchanges focused on the key issues that underpin corporate performance

Participants who successfully complete the three International Directors Programme modules may apply for the INSEAD Certificate in Corporate Governance, enabling participants to receive a recognised credential in the field of governance from one of the world's most diverse and thought-leading global business schools.

The INSEAD Corporate Governance Initiative, launched in 2010, undertakes cutting-edge research and teaching tailored to the needs of boards.Find out more.
