Join the 7th run of the Non-Executive Director Programme 2024 to learn key skills for boardroom success.

The FWB / UEBS NXD Academy is delighted to introduce its flagship NXD Development Programme for the 7th year. The programme was run online during the pandemic and as delegates have expressed a preference for this format, we will again run it online for 2024. The final session will be an in-person meeting with a guest speaker for discussion, group activities and networking over drinks and canapés.As with our previous programmes, our 2024 course has been designed to be highly practical. Led by experienced Chairs and NXDs, it is aimed at those interested in all types and sizes of organisation; listed, private, entrepreneurial, SMEs, public sector and not-for-profit. Each session is interactive with small group activities and real-life case studies, together with plenary discussions and Q&As. These sessions have been designed to allow plenty of time for interaction and active learning in all areas. Whilst each session has a main topic, the discussions and questions will be wide-ranging. There are 6 sessions, covering a range of key NXD issues, delivered online via Zoom:<ul><li>Session 1 (Thursday 12 September 2024, 6-8pm) - "Board Papers: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly"</li><li>Session 2 (Thursday 26 September 2024, 6-8pm) - "What is the Role of the NXD in assessing Risk?"</li><li>Session 3 (Thursday 10 October 2024, 6-8pm) - "AI - opportunity or threat?
