Advisory Board Upskilling Programme
Sharpening strategic skills for confident governance. Turning knowledge into boardroom strength.
Essential insights for today’s boardroom challenges
Advisory board members face significant challenges today as they work to support and guide companies in an increasingly complex business environment. However, many board members may lack deep expertise in critical areas such as IT, HR, and sustainability, which are essential for informed decision-making.
This knowledge gap can hinder a board’s ability to address areas of risk, ask challenging questions and hold management accountable, particularly in high-stakes areas. Without the right insights, board members face increased risk and responsibility if the company encounters losses, legal issues, or operational setbacks.
With this programme, advisory board members will be empowered with the insights and tools they need to navigate complex areas confidently, enabling them to guide their companies to success and mitigate potential risks effectively.
It’s all about containing risk and seizing opportunities – asking the right questions and pinpointing the high value topics is crucial.
Our tailored Advisory Board Upskilling Programme offers board members a focused, efficient way to gain the knowledge they need to lead confidently in today’s evolving landscape.
Through a series of skill-building sessions, board members will gain:
- A solid grasp of best practices in key business areas, delivered concisely to fit their busy schedules.
- The ability to ask critical questions that probe deeper into management strategies, helping to ensure accountability and insight. And therefore minimising risk.
The programme covers four high-value topics, designed to equip board members with essential knowledge and skills:
Strategic People Management
Understanding how to foster effective leadership, culture, succession, development and performance within the organisation.
HR Compliance and Comp & Ben
Staying informed on regulatory requirements, best practices in the area of Comp/Ben and related financial risks.
IT, AI & Emerging Tech Trends
Exploring recent advancements in technology, including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and digital transformation.
Sustainability & Risk Management
Examining approaches to sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and the associated risks of non-compliance.
Programme and format
The program is designed to fit seamlessly into the demanding schedules of advisory board members. Each topic is delivered in a 2-3 hour session, available in two flexible formats:
Group sessions: Tailored for board members from the same company, allowing them to discuss concrete challenges specific to their organisation.
One-to-one coaching: Personalised sessions that offer focused guidance for individual board members.
