High Performance Boards was a great opportunity to step back and reflect on board responsibility. I left the program with a wealth of ideas on how to do things differently, and intend to take immediate action.

This program has given me a process and a structure to up my game and jump the S-curve, not just for myself, but for my business as well.

This board program was a fantastic program, very stimulating lectures. The speakers did not focus on general aspects: they always showed examples from real life. Good speakers catching the attention of the people, and stimulating broad discussion. Excellent learning environment.

High Performance Boards is simply the best program that exists on corporate governance, board composition and evaluation. It is essential for every board member to do such a program.
