Description

You will be able to discuss current topics such as cyber-security, unconscious bias and commercial risk management while identifying the effective and ineffective director behaviours shown on screen. You will get the opportunity to practise responding yourself to the issues presented in the film, receiving real-time feedback and challenge. This course is the closest opportunity you can get to rehearsing for genuine board scenarios. It will leave you with increased confidence in your ability to influence fellow directors and to become a truly exceptional board member.

Our training courses are designed to be hands-on and interactive, therefore we limit delegate places to a maximum of 10 to allow you to get the most out of your learning and training with us.

Learning outcomes:

  • Understand your own strengths and development needs in areas such as chairing meetings, influencing and collective decision-making.
  • Discover the behaviours required of an exceptional board director.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
