IoD Academy
Access our digital academy to assess gaps in your knowledge and embark on your learning journey.
My membership of the IoD has helped me increase my knowledge and skills associated with being a director. This has helped me bring an extra dimension to my role as a Trustee for a multi-academy trust and ensure we are setting the right direction for our schools and pupils.
As leaders of people and organisations it’s our responsibility to keep up to date with current affairs and trends in the industry and all markets. IoD events facilitate networking among experts in various fields, allowing discussion of relevant topics and growth of knowledge among diverse business leaders.
Joining the IoD has been invaluable for accessing professional, governance expertise and expanding my network. The events have opened up new opportunities and provided insights from experienced leaders, significantly enhancing my approach as I grow my boutique fractional CTO consultancy.
