What is the Board development programme?

These workshops are delivered as open courses nationally and are designed to support boards, individual directors, senior managers, and those in important support roles such as minute takers and report writers, to equip them with key knowledge and skills that can be readily applied on return to their organisation.

The core modules are:

  • Effective chairing of meetings

Bespoke development programmes

We also provide bespoke development programmes for individual boards and senior leadership teams tailored to support the strategic objectives and development aims of individual boards and teams. The ability to learn together with bespoke development is beneficial, as it encourages consistency in the development and implementation of solutions as well as providing an opportunity for team building.

Our bespoke development offer incorporates aspects that are aimed at governance enhancements, alongside understanding and developing team dynamics and relationships, both elements are equally important in developing
an effective board or team.
