EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In furtherance of its aims and objectives, which include enhancing the capacity of Corporate Leadership at the highest levels and providing modules on great prospects for international partnership and support, benchmarking corporate peers at the global level, CIoD Nigeria developed the Advanced Company Direction Programme (ACDP) as the premium course to reach out for corporate boards interested in positioning organisations for growth beyond borders.

KEY ADVANTAGES

·               It is a premium programme that CIoD Nigeria, at its discretion, invite directors with many years of boardroom experience to attend, even when they are not members of the Institute.

·               The programme is delivered in modules that aid delegates with learning taken in real-world approach.

·               On the faculty of this premium programme are highly experienced practitioners who have wide-ranging boardroom experience, meaning that a highly engaging, adaptive and pragmatic approach is adopted in delivering the programme, to account for varying delegate requirements.

DIRECTORS LEADERSHIP BOOTCAMP

THEME:                       Leading Business Transformation from the Boardroom

VENUE:                       New York, USA.

 PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

A constant factor that organisations have grappled with over the years is operating in a business environment that is characterised by uncertainty and unpredictability. This is more so over the last decade because of the amazing intensity of changing technology, socio-political, economic, climate, and regulatory changes. From all indications, the ferocity of these changes would be unparalleled in the new decade, given the new paradigms of competition, increasing sophistication of stakeholders, disruptive innovations, and emerging business models. The implication of this is that only firms that reinvent themselves through constant transformation may stand the chance of surviving the tide of change in the new decade. Such firms need adept boards that will lead the needed transformation.

This programme is specially designed to enhance the capacity of directors to lead business transformation in their organisations through proactive decisions and policies that are informed by a deep understanding of variables at play within their local and international business environments.  

Great stories are for everyone even when only written for just one person. If you try to write with a wide, general audience in mind, your story will sound fake and lack emotion. No one will be interested. Write for one person. If it’s genuine for the one, it’s genuine for the rest.
