Last week Helen Stott aka Marketing Doris completed the In Professional Development Non-Executive Directors Development programme.

An intensive 5 day programme, this course was developed to support and provide leaders with the knowledge and skills to be a high performing Non-Executive Director, preparing them for the demands and challenges that they face every-day.

The Role of the Non-Executive Director is a member of the Board of Directors, who does not form part of the executive management of a business. Under company law, there is no legal distinction between Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors. NEDs usually stand back from the day-to-day running of the business. NEDs have the same legal duties, responsibilities and potential liabilities as the Executive.

This fast track, well-structured and intensive programme, provided an outstanding personal development opportunity. The programme gave a detailed understanding and up to date knowledge of the role of the Non-Executive Director and the Board, leadership, corporate strategy, finance and crucially, organisational governance. It offers the maximum personal and business benefit from a minimum investment.

This course was designed for those with a minimum 3 years senior management experience and provided the core elements for aspiring, newly appointed and seasoned Non Executive Directors looking to improve their effectiveness at board level.
