CEO Excellence Institute

Board Development

CEI is committed to helping organisations improve their corporate governance capabilities and create a culture of high performance by further developing the competencies of their leadership team. Our services and programmes have a direct impact in building an organisation’s business advantage that ultimately drives commercial success.

Our tailored training solutions provide end-to-end learning and development programmes, from identifying skills gaps of managers and business leaders through practical training courses and internationally recognised qualifications.

Furthermore, our bespoke programmes, delivered in your workplace, are twice as cost effective as outplacement courses.

1. Board level facilitators

CEI programmes are delivered by people who are not only skilled facilitators, but who have also worked at the board level within organizations ranging from multinational corporate and SMEs, to all sizes of public sector organizations and not-for-profit bodies. 

This ensures that whatever your programme’s objectives, you benefit from direct and relevant experience which is recognizable and useful to delegates in their everyday working life.

2. Tailored to your organization’s needs

CEI programmes can be designed and delivered in a format that is tailored to the needs of your organization and your board of directors. In any case, we will take a thorough brief from you on your requirements and desired outcomes. As an additional benefit, our analysis will often produce valuable new insights that can enrich the value of the programme you undertake.  

We cover the following topics:

Succession – One factor common to all organisations is the need to actively groom and develop talent that can fill senior responsibilities as and when the opportunities arise. We are often asked to create programmes designed to broaden participants’ perspective on major issues facing the organisation, including taking a holistic or directorial view.

Evolution – Many companies are faced with the need to make a change in the way they operate – especially when a business grows from small, informal beginnings to a point where a more structured organisation is appropriate. We can offer an experience-based external perspective that can provide invaluable insights and can also help with implementation.

Reviews – It is often valuable to stand back from day-to-day preoccupations and to take a more strategic view of a business. We create and facilitate special reviews and workshops which help participants to analyse and debate new ways of thinking and operating the business.
