“A brilliant program with a superb faculty! I had the pleasure of joining the first Swedish cohort during the spring of 2025 during the initial 2 days, and later on joined the larger group at Insead for 4 full days. I was impressed by all the presenters whom had the right professional skills, but they also knew how to talk to and how to engage a “grown up” audience. In addition to a very well assembled program syllabus with its great content, I also appreciated the peer learning and all the new connections I made with other participants. Meeting likeminded professionals outside your own normal “work habitat”, is a really good eye-opener and another source of valuable learning”

“The Executive Board Programme by the Scandinavian Executive Institute and INSEAD has given me a clear framework for understanding board responsibilities, from fiduciary duties to strategic leadership. It has sharpened my ability to foster constructive dialogue, manage conflict, and navigate complex stakeholder landscapes. Most of all, it has strengthened my confidence to lead with vision and humility. I leave with fresh insights, a strong network, and a renewed commitment to good governance.”

“I think it was brilliant. It was a great learning experience to be here. Fantastic professors – they are so engaged. And it is a great group of participants also. You learn from each other as well as from the professors. Good academic foundations, lots of models and useful things to bring home. I am pleased.”

“I can highly recommend the Executive Board Programme INSEAD at the Scandinavian Executive Institute! This board training, with its focus on long-term and value-creating board work, has clearly enhanced my board competencies. The teaching from some of the world’s leading board experts and professors provided me with many practical tools—and not least, inspiration and new perspectives. Moreover, the other participants held a very high level, which greatly enriched the learning experience and the exchange of insights. Over the course of the programme, we became a very close-knit group, giving me a new and valuable network. This is something I will carry with me—it was both an experience and a lifelong lesson!”

“I was very impressed with the academic quality of the programme, and not least the expertise and communication skills of the professors at INSEAD. The topics were exceptionally interesting, and the instructors were incredibly skilled at involving us participants in exercises and making complex material accessible in a good way. On the final day at INSEAD, we conducted a “board meeting,” which was also a very positive experience. Overall, I am truly impressed with the facilitation and execution.”

“The Executive Board Programme was a valuable investment in boardroom competence. The programme combined academic depth with practical perspectives and gave me both new insights and a strong network. I highly recommend it to leaders who wish to strengthen their role in the boardroom.”

“The academic level was high, and the mix of diverse participants was a key contributor to making the program even more interesting. The instructors at INSEAD were exceptionally skilled and inspiring, and they absolutely met expectations. I would also highlight the benefits of combining the local and global perspectives: you travel with a Danish group you already know, which provides a network when you return home, while also gaining the international perspective at INSEAD. From a networking standpoint, it is definitely an advantage that a Danish organizer hosts the program.”

“The program was intensive and required significant preparation – but it was entirely worth it. It was clear that to gain the most from it, having some prior knowledge of how the interaction between the board and management functions was essential. The other participants were exceptionally sharp, and there was a particularly positive atmosphere within the group. It was evident that everyone wanted to support each other, and everyone made a concerted effort to contribute as effectively as possible.”

“The level of the program was high, due both to the instructors and professors who were skilled at varying the teaching with a mix of explanations, cases, and engagement—combined with capable, well-prepared, and socially pleasant participants who asked many insightful questions. Also, great praise goes to the team from Scandinavian Executive Institute, who ensured that all the logistical details ran smoothly.”

“There are two key reasons why I chose this program. Firstly, I wanted to elevate my boardroom skills to the next level and professionalize my approach to board work. Although I have learned a lot through practical experience, I had not previously engaged with the theoretical aspects. Getting confirmation – or potentially disproving – that what I was doing was correct has been a crucial part of the learning experience. Secondly, I had the opportunity to attend the program with the Director of Studieskolen, where I am the Chairman of the Board. Participating alongside a colleague with whom I could later discuss learning and implementation has been nothing short of invaluable.”

“The Executive Board Programme is a truly excellent education with great content. It covers both the specifics of board practices, which was the focus in Denmark, and the broader perspectives and active learning from skilled and top-notch instructors at INSEAD. I gained valuable insights from both worlds, and additionally had the opportunity to expand my network with talented and great people whom I still stay in touch with and who could be significant for me in the future.”
