Fostering Impact at INSEAD Corporate Governance Centre (ICGC)
Bridging Research and Practice to Generate Insight, Inspire Learning, and Improve Board Effectiveness
The INSEAD Corporate Governance Centre (ICGC) seeks to advance corporate governance standards worldwide by fostering connections between academic research and boardroom best practices, and by sharing that knowledge as widely as possible. By forming the INSEAD Corporate Governance Council and creating regular interaction platforms, the Centre creates a safe environment where directors can exchange experiences and test beliefs while INSEAD faculty can gain access to boardroom realities that shape relevant, practice-oriented research. The Centre also plays a leading role in developing innovative learning offerings that address current and emerging governance challenges and supports a vibrant global community of more than 4,000 directors. Through these efforts, the Centre aims to deepen its global impact by equipping boards with the knowledge, connections, and tools they need to govern with confidence in an increasingly complex world.

The INSEAD Corporate Governance Centre is grateful to our international partners for their collaboration and engagement in supporting our mission.
Our Network
The INSEAD International Directors' Network (IDN) is driven by alumni of the INSEAD International Directors Programme (IDP).
"Navigating governance in today's disruptive and uncertain environment whilst achieving the objectives of an organisation requires directors to hold the highest standards of acumen, governance and integrity. It also demands high EQ, financial understanding, and the ability through an ESG lens to see opportunities and risks across multiple time horizons. As a director, I find these demands both energising and challenging. This is why I turn to the INSEAD Centre for Corporate Governance for world-class director education and development, and to the INSEAD International Directors Network for global peer-to-peer exchange and continuous learning."
Helen Wiseman, IDP-C,
President of INSEAD Directors Network
IN-BOARD is a by alumni for alumni initiative which started 10 years ago and currently runs in six countries. It consists of a three day programme at INSEAD and six national modules organised by professional service firms (accounting, legal, strategy, HR, etc).The aim is to prepare INSEAD alumni for non-executive board positions.
“There is a growing need for non-executives in large corporates as well as in smaller companies, hospitals, schools and non-for-profit institutions. The INSEAD alumni have a wealth of experience in a great variety of industries. IN-BOARD is building on this solid base by offering an educational programme and by sharing continued development through Masterclasses and Governance Labs. Herewith we create a great community of experienced professionals.”

The INSEAD alumni network is robust, diverse and globally connected to an extent few institutions can boast. With more than 66K alumni distributed across 180 countries with 169 nationalities, our alumni are citizens of the world, who understand how to balance local and global perspectives, and have “experienced the world as it ought to be” as one graduate said.
"An active alumni association not only helps to keep the alumni energised and engaged but also contributes tremendously to the positive branding of INSEAD. Through our activities, we not only get a chance to showcase the achievements of our members but also demonstrate our deep bonding with the institution. And nothing succeeds like success. The success of the alumni boosts the reputation of the school, while in turn the success of the school enables the alumni to bask in its reflected glory. Having a strong and active alumni network is a win-win for all.”
