Programme Offerings
INSEAD Corporate Governance Centre
Our research, development programmes and outreach initiatives address the challenges and opportunities of developing boards as a mechanism for value creation.
Our programmes combine expertise from academics who study processes in different regions of the world with high-profile practitioners who bring to the classroom their wealth of experience. We contribute to a better understanding of supervisory board roles and practices, not only amongst board members themselves but also executives, government and society at large.
