Learn more about governance at IMD, as Didier Cossin, Professor of Governance and Finance and Founder of the IMD Global Board Center, expands on how governance is a make or break in these times of transformations.

Governance skills that drive impact

IMD’s board education is a strong credential to evidence good board governance skills that drive impact. It honed my governance experience and skill set and broadened my perspective. I now have a better awareness of blind spots and the actions I can take to work on them.

Global participants, targeted learning

The different programs have empowered me to make real use of the learnings around board processes, team dynamics and managing politics. With global participants and targeted learning, IMD shows you what is truly achievable for your board.

I grew as a board member

As a board member you need to stay on your toes and keep learning. With IMD, I grew as a board member in terms of professional knowledge, with a new way of looking at things and the capacity to ask the right questions around a business plan.

I found my role and balance

IMD enlightened me on how exemplary boards function and helped me find my role and balance on boards in order to make a real contribution.

Challenged in a safe place

Being challenged in a safe place really shifts how we see things. Gathering best practices and having that IMD quality assurance is of immense value I’ve become aware of models and ways of looking at problems that I simply did not know before.
