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.

Aspiring Directors Programme
The Aspiring Directors Programme is a five-day programme that helps high potential professionals, managers or executives preparing for their first board mandate to acquire the knowledge base that directors are expected to master, and which form the basis of effective board membership.
Upcoming session: 12-17 April 2021 (Live Virtual)
The INSEAD Certificate in Corporate Governance (IDP-C) is a global credential for board members operating internationally – the first of its kind offered by an academic institution.
The Advanced Certificate in Corporate Governance is designed for IDP-Cs who wish to further pursue their development across core competencies that are key to effective directorship.
Combining INSEAD's expertise with insights of industry leaders, partner programmes are designed to offer a unique platform for exchanging and leveraging collective experiences from both the academic and business world. The programmes support directors and boards in addressing real-world situations through cross-disciplinary collaboration with focus on the specific challenge unique to the environment they operate in.
ecoDa Training Programme
ecoDa, the European Confederation of Directors Associations, has developed a European module for directors and supervisory board members seeking to gain a European perspective on board functioning and corporate governance. The INSEAD Corporate Governance Centre is an academic partner to ecoDa.
ICGC faculty designs and delivers a specific half-day session devoted to a board simulation that provides directors with a live experience of the workings of a real board of directors concerned with a challenging transaction.
Both organisations engage in exchanging best practices and benchmarks on European corporate governance to their respective members.
Save the date: two day training programme for European Directors on 10-12 March 2021
Board Direction Programme
In line with ICGC's mission to advocate sustainable high-performance governance practices and expand our impact in corporate governance globally, ICGC is collaborating with the Ukrainian Corporate Governance Academy (UCGA) to provide programme co-directorship for the UCGA Board Direction Programme. By sharing our corporate governance expertise with UCGA, we envision the programme to be an instrument that will enhance capacity for effective and ethical corporate governance in Eastern Europe, advance sustainable business development and establish governance credibility for market and investor confidence.

Directors of Partner Development exchange with board representatives and faculty in designing programmes that are customised to a particular board’s needs. These can be provided as stand-alone modules on or away from campus, or alongside a board or shareholder meeting.
