Even for someone who has studied board governance, I’m getting a lot from your insight, content and case studies. Really well done.

This was an extremely useful training programme. As someone who is still young in the working world, I didn't think it would be possible for me to get this knowledge so early in my career. But with this training, it has helped me understand a lot more about organisations and how they work, specifically with board involvement.

I think the programme is well thought through, with a very balanced mixed of theory, practice, and exercise, and delivers what can be expected for a 3-session course.

Really valuable stories and case studies, and a very friendly environment!
