The Board Program – Successful board work

Our 3-day board training The Board Program – Successful board work is a board training that has its roots in contemporary and modern board work and is aimed at you who are both interested in board work and want to work through a board assignment. Maybe you already have a board assignment today or want to be able to take one later. Board training is also interesting for owners who want to run effective board work and/or appoint external board members or who want to prepare employees to be able to take on board assignments in subsidiaries and holding companies. In our basic board training, we focus on everything you need to know to be a competent and safe board member in the boardroom, and to be able to contribute to the company’s development. Our board education embraces and is based on an ESG – Environment-Social-Governance – perspective.
