NED Development Programme

Good NEDs add significant value to a company and the wider economy. Locally-resident NEDs bring distinct advantages, especially for fiscal purposes, ease of attendance, and jurisdiction-specific knowledge.

Guernsey is fortunate to have a large pool of experienced NEDs. Through our NED Development Programme, partner boards can help to nurture the next generation of diverse local NEDs by passing on their experience, knowledge and skills to participants.

For established partner boards, the programme offers the benefit of the fresh thinking and modern skills that a developing NED can bring to the table. Participating in the programme also allows partner boards to demonstrate good corporate social responsibility in their annual report, press releases and social media communications.

In addition to a training course and networking events, participants benefit from a 12-month board placement and mentorship. This gives them first-hand experience of sitting on a board, an understanding of NED roles and responsibilities, as well as opportunities to develop the core knowledge and skills required to become an effective NED. Participants leave the programme with the confidence, experience and knowledge to undertake full-time NED positions.

Whether you’re interested in being a partner board or a participant, we’re ready to get the process started.

Testimonials

    Unlike similar courses I have attended this one allowed a lot of interaction between the tutor and delegates. The content touched upon the relevant areas but also allowed the delegates to view things in a different perspective.

    Joanna B

  • IoD Introductory Certificate in Board Readiness

    “Being promoted from a manager to a director is all about changing your mind-set and as I sit on the underlying subsidiary boards, it is important to have an understanding and awareness of our long term plan and strategy rather than being an expert in all areas.

    I would recommend the IoD Introductory Certificate in Board Readiness to anyone in a senior management role as it has given me the confidence to believe in my abilities and to grow as a director being confident to question others in the board room”.

  • NED Development Programme

    My placement with an investment company listed on the main market of the London Stock Exchange has developed and broadened my exposure to the industry beyond my expectations.

    Tracking real-time decision-making during a busy period for the company has added huge depth to my practice, and an appreciation for board dynamics that you just can’t learn from the other side of the table.

    I can’t think of a better investment of time for professional development.
