Introduction to the IoD's Diploma Developing board performance
Developing Board Performance is the second level of three stages to becoming a qualified IoD Chartered Director. Building upon the learnings from the modules in the Certificate the course applies practical real life scenarios and boardroom challenges whilst developing insights into key topics such as risk and crisis management.
This session is designed for delegates who are currently completing or who have already successfully completed the Certificate in Company Direction and looking to take the next steps in the Chartered pathway. It will be an informal relaxed and interactive session aimed to support delegates in making a confident and informed decision about the next steps in their director development.
“The Diploma provided me with the opportunity to build new networks, think through business cases and work through complex situations as a simulated board and the opportunity to learn from one another” Aisling Press, Managing Director of Personal Banking, Danske Bank UK
After this session delegates will understand:
- The context of how this module fits in the Chartered Director pathway
- How this course will impact your performance as a director in the boardroom
- Exam process and application
- The practicalities (costs, dates, booking process)
