Global Women on Boards
GLOBAL WOMEN ON BOARDS (GWOB)
The Global Women on Boards programme is designed to equip new, aspiring and existing women directors with the required competencies, knowledge and safe network platforms to enable them to create unique value and innovation for boards.
Designed to help women understand the skills required of board directors, gain insights needed to effectively participate on progressive boards and support their search for a seat on a board, the 6-month programme is a modular journey, taking participants through the essentials of Corporate Governance, Risk & Finance, Strategy, Board Dynamics, Board Leadership and Board Profiling.
The journey culminates with a Board Simulation, which allows the delegates to apply the knowledge and learning gained in a safe space. Throughout the programme the participants will be guided and supported by international mentors with board experience. A 6-month modular programme, the GWOB will be hosted internationally this year, expanding beyond East Africa and Malaysia to provide participants the opportunity to appreciate the differences in overall board governance, leadership and dynamics in boardrooms spanning borders.
*GWOB is now HRDCorp-claimable for Malaysian delegates. Inquire with us to get more information.
