Advanced Board Programme INSEAD

A Board training programme in cooperation with INSEAD for Chairmen and Board Members

The Advanced Board Programme INSEAD aims to develop the mindset and skills of the chairman of the board and other experienced board members and focuses on how the board of the future works as best as possible.

The program takes place over three days at INSEAD and gives you a unique opportunity to develop your board professional skills and at the same time prepares you for the challenges of the future. As a board member, you will face a world of constant change, increased uncertainty, and endless digital transformation initiatives. To keep pace with developments, the upheavals require board chairmen and board members to be able to reassess their roles, acquire new knowledge and reconsider habits and routines.
