Essential board member training in stakeholder management

Stakeholder understanding and management has become central to high-quality corporate governance, particularly as organizations are increasingly interdependent with a wider range of stakeholders around them.

Is this program for me?

Our board programs are suitable for a wide range of board professionals including board members, chairpersons, board secretaries, aspiring board members and professionals working closely with boards. We also welcome family business members and teams.

The learnings were second-to-none and made a lasting impression with regard to safely challenging assumptions and beliefs about stakeholder management. The program is one of the best learning experiences I’ve had and has been hugely impactful.

Maria Pejter Head of HR, A.P. Møller Holding & Board Member at Maersk Tankers and ZeroNorth, Denmark

The program widened my perspectives on the relevance of all stakeholders and helped me determine which stakeholders to prioritize and how to focus on them.

There’s been concrete value from learning what I didn’t know about the complexity of external relationships and what we, as boards, need to be aware of. Good things came from the program with regard to making and justifying decisions around stakeholders. The discussions around this and the model we used were really helpful.

Keith Svendsen CEO, APM Terminals, The Netherlands

Using different standpoints and perspectives and looking at how you handle stakeholders and their competing interests is so important. That has been made very clear in the program.
