"I've been with the IoD for five years now. I became a member as part of a push to improve the capabilities of our internal boards and governance structure [at Serco]. We were looking for support in corporate governance issues - Chartered Director [IoD qualification] proved invaluable for best practice in this area. It focused on the right areas and at the right level. I was able to take the tools I learnt back and implement them. Having completed the qualification it has opened up a professional community which shares similar issues and experiences and means I can stay abreast of latest thinking. Being a Chartered Director also shows a level of competency. It demonstrates the practical application of knowledge and a depth of experience. It's also evidence that you are taking your role as a director seriously."
