    The structure of the education

    Introduction

    The intensive board education in London focuses on how to safely lead the board through turbulence and rapid change. There is an increasing global need to navigate quickly and correctly when external influences hit companies.

    In this programme, we therefore focus on themes such as Governing through Uncertainty, Board Dynamics, AI, Geo-politics, Cyber Security, Regulatory Risks, and Ethics.

    The programme is a unique combination of lectures and interactive panel debates with international business profiles and world-renowned professors from Chicago Booth. In addition, “case studies” are used based on scenarios from specific companies.

    The education is taught in English.

    Sessions

    • Governing through Uncertainty
    • Board Dynamics
    • Strategy vs. Scenario Planning
    • The Role of AI
    • Risk Management and Cyber Security
    • Geopolitics and Regulatory Risks
    • Ethics
    • Succession and Talent Management

    Experienced and competent instructors

    The programme is based on practical applicability and is delivered by some of the world’s leading professors, together with well‑known international business profiles.

    More about the board programme

    At Board Company, we have worked with board members since 2011 and are familiar with the increasing management responsibilities and competency requirements they face. We therefore understand how important it is to remain strong and well‑prepared when undertaking board responsibilities.

    Background to the programme

    By offering the Advanced Board Programme at Columbia Business School, we aim to provide experienced board members with a unique opportunity to gain new inspiration and keep their knowledge up to date with the latest trends and tendencies in international corporate governance.

    The Advanced Board Programme is based on the role of the board member seen from an international perspective, offering insight into how a board of directors should act in a global reality. The programme will increase your impact and your ability to create value and assume the responsibility inherent in your role as a board member.

    In 2023, Columbia Business School was ranked the best business school in the world by the Financial Times. The school has some of the world’s most eminent professors and counts among its alumni a trailblazing cohort of top executives and heads of state from around the world.

    The programme integrates the latest research and theory within corporate governance. Moreover, the focus is on the practical experience of acclaimed businesspeople and experts from the US corporate sector.

    The programme primarily caters to experienced board members who come with international work experience as well as chief executive officers from international companies.

    Location and accommodation

    The Advanced Board Programme is taught at Columbia Business School’s new campus in Manhattanville, New York City.

    Participants are responsible for organising and arranging their own transport and accommodation in connection with the programme. Board Company, in cooperation with Columbia Business School, provides contact details to selected hotels in the area.

    In addition to the board programme, you have the opportunity to become part of our Board Forum – an exclusive board forum for business executives and board members who want to gain valuable insight into the latest board governance trends and optimise their network in board circles by attending the eight annual events.
