Board education is key to growing excellent individuals into great value-adding board members, and transforming a group of individuals into a board that is a major competitive advantage for a company.
High Performance Boards is IMD’s flagship program for board directors. It is inspired by the latest research conducted by the IMD Global Board Center and the world’s best boards. The program draws on nearly five decades of board education experience at IMD to offer you an in-depth exploration of issues related to board performance and effectiveness. You will broaden your skills as you familiarize yourself with the latest tools and frameworks for enhancing your board’s performance – as well as your own.
Alongside board members and prominent chairpersons from around the world, you will learn about successes and failures and explore governance best practices. You will identify the strategies, structures, and processes that make boards the driving force behind corporate success, and build a solid network of global peers.
This program can be taken as a standalone experience, or as a step toward the IMD Board Director Diploma – equipping you to navigate key board challenges and elevate your governance impact.
