Announcing INSEAD Board Training (IN-BOARD) 2015-2016

Promoting INSEAD´s principle of life-long learning, the INSEAD Board (IN-BOARD) Initiative is an executive education program organized by the International Alumni Association for our alumni who are involved in or aspire to play a role on boards of directors or advisory boards – from small & medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to listed corporations.

INSEAD Board Training (IN-BOARD) 2015-2016

The kick-off weekend on campus in Fontainebleau is led by INSEAD Professor Erik van de Loo and will introduce IN-BOARD participants from the Belgian, Dutch, German and Swiss Alumni Associations (NAAs) to board dynamics and effectiveness. A full day of leadership development coaching will also be incorporated.

Local modules developed by the Swiss NAA on Legal, Strategy, HR, Accounting & Auditing and Startup board activities are offered by top-level professional service firms, or well-known Business Angels, in a series of Zurich-based workshops, tailored specifically to the Swiss corporate environment.

Each Zurich module takes place from 2pm – 6pm and will conclude with a networking dinner, offering the opportunity for further learning and discussion.

Participation

Limited to 15 people. The cost is CHF 6,000 (includes the program fees and the networking dinners; it does not cover travel expenses and hotel accommodation).
