Director Development Programme 2023

Overview

Our Director Development programme offers a comprehensive and practical experience, created by world-leading board experts that have decades of experience helping business leaders thrive and grow within their current and future roles.

As a director, navigating challenges whilst keeping your business operating legally and effectively can be difficult. Whether you’re an experienced director, or just starting your first appointment, understanding what is expected of you in your role is vital to staying on top of your responsibilities.

You may also meet a diverse range of delegates that operate across private, public and charitable sectors, and so these peer-to-peer learning experiences will offer different perspectives, the ability to network and share similar challenges with real-world outcomes.

We work in an ever-changing environment, so we offer all of the modules in our programme in a virtual or face-to-face capacity.

What does the programme cover?

With the support of our expert team of tutors, the Director Development programme will not only help you reflect on your own decision-making processes and strategies, it will also introduce you to new ways of working based on sound governance and best practice.

Using your existing knowledge, the tutors can contextualise the course delivery to hone your functional skills in order to act as an inspirational and highly effective company director.

Central to the programme is understanding what makes a good board, so we will help you to:

Discover your director competencies and weaknesses
Build your board and differentiate between governance, direction, management and ownership
Know when to act collectively as a board, and when to refrain
Improve boardroom equality and diversity of opportunity
Boost organisational efficiency by learning how to empower board members effectively.

Who will deliver the course content?

Our tutors will develop your understanding of risk management, so we will focus on:

How a risk assessment can be conducted effectively and how performance of the company can be monitored and reported
How to identify the risks facing your company and how to manage them

Growth is important. The challenge of doing the basics well also supports a company’s continued growth. You will learn how to:

Review the capabilities of your organisation when it comes to delivering its strategic objectives
Apply a structured framework, to assess the financial performance of your organisation
Improve and build your organisational capabilities for future success
Increase your decision-making skills, and your knowledge of creativity and analysis
Ability to determine organisational performance accurately and continuously

You will also gain knowledge of how values, integrity and ethics can be upheld and championed – including how CSR can be integrated into company operations.
