Institute of Directors- Developing Board Performance (Diploma)

Aims

This module aims to ensure that delegates integrate and apply their learning from the Certificate in Company Direction, when making decisions which affect the running of an organisation in a range of challenging and realistic situations.

It builds on the IoD’s Certificate in Company Direction, with candidates proving that they can synthesize the separately/functionally introduced elements of the Certificate and apply them appropriately, to make sound decisions, in a corporately responsible manner. In so doing, the module makes delegates aware of the need to identify and balance the risks associated with courses of action, whilst maintaining an ethos which is entrepreneurial and creative. The focus of the module is the individual director in the context of their board role.

Objectives

The module asks delegates to reflect on their own contribution and effectiveness, in keeping with the developmental nature of the Certificate in Company Direction, but also consistent with board and director evaluation best practice.

Delegates may only attend the Diploma module on completion of the certificate courses with the exception of an exemption on certain modules.

The following elements are newly introduced:

• Decision making – processes/tools/techniques
