Are you a new independent or non-executive director? Or an experienced director who is repositioning and seeking new challenges? Anchored in our executive search and board expertise, we will help you define and master your strategy to secure the mandates that fit. You will identify your added value, developing your Unique Value Proposition based on your experience, expertise, and soft skills. Armed with this clear vision you will start to brand and promote yourself on the market, discover how to network efficiently, and develop a strategy to convince boards that you are the member they miss. In our interactive sessions, you will exchange with other top professionals (NEDs and C-Suite). You will pitch yourself as an independent director, participate in a simulated interview and hear from full-time independent directors about their journey to building their portfolios.
Comprehensive, Interactive
“A comprehensive overview of the role of an independent director covering how to find opportunities, key responsibilities and challenges that comes with it. The sessions were interactive and engaging, and case studies were particularly useful to develop thought process to start the journey as an independent director. Extremely valuable views and concepts for finding board mandates and guest speakers who are experienced independent directors. Highly recommend the program to individuals wanting to gain a deeper understanding of the role.”

International, Hands-on
"Excellent training bringing together a hands-on toolkit of “do’s and don’ts”, valuable insights into the recruitment process for NEDs and the opportunity for our group to directly exchange with two independent directors on how to be successful in obtaining board mandates. Our group represented various countries, industries and profiles while sharing a passion to learn and the courage to exchange openly on the challenges we each faced! I highly recommend this programme to any aspiring independent Board director!"

Targeted, Practical, Effective
"The NED program opens the window to senior executives to the world of independent directors and offers the tools to candidates to decide whether to enter this world and how to be best prepared for the journey. The practical approach, the effective workshops, together with a diverse team of executive participants, and the appropriate guests allowed a well-rounded view of this world.”

Powerful
“This 2-session workshop has been very useful in my journey to board mandates. Indeed, it gave me practical and relevant guidance/tips to define my Unique Value Proposition as well as my selling pitch. The various simulation exercises were very powerful to practice and test my leanings, particularly in the second day session. Finally, concrete advice on how to network efficiently as well as the testimony by a full-time director have been very inspiring to me.”

Insightful
“Well-organised program for independent board directors that I found very insightful, practical and useful, including the interactions with the participants and the use of case simulations. Crafted over two days with a break in between, it gave me the opportunity to reflect on the learnings from the first session and how to pursue this pathway further.”
