The Advanced Board Programme is tailored for chairs and experienced board members who focus on future development areas.

The program aims to develop the mindset and skills of board chairs and other experienced board members, focusing on how future boards can operate most effectively.

The program spans three days at INSEAD and provides a unique opportunity to enhance your board-level skills while preparing for future challenges. As a board member, you’ll encounter a world characterized by constant change, increased uncertainty, and endless digital transformation initiatives.

To keep pace with these developments, both the chair and board members must be able to reassess their roles, acquire new knowledge, and reconsider established habits and routines.

Advanced Board Programme

“The program offered new perspectives, high tempo, good dialogues, and excellent facilitation. The topics covered were highly relevant, and I really appreciated the perspective on how a chairman can be a key contributor to elevating the entire board’s level. The professors succeeded in delivering learning at a high level of abstraction while also providing very practical and concrete guidance. It was a rewarding combination.”

Advanced Board Programme

“I chose this program because it perfectly aligned with the inspiration I needed. I have many years of experience in board work, and that’s where I spend all my working time. The Advanced Board Programme appealed to me because it focuses on the long-term perspective in board work – a board’s responsibility is precisely to look into the future on behalf of the company. The program has a strong focus on the trends in the uncertain world we operate in, and it also provides a future perspective on the ‘board landscape’ as well as the roles and responsibilities of a board – all of which are extremely important perspectives for me.”
