The distinguishing characteristic of The Directors' Network’s custom programs is the focus on establishing collaborative relationships with clients to develop and produce a program that is entirely relevant to the board as a whole. This approach has numerous benefits:

• Custom programs deliver content that is determined by your board
• A collaborative approach to curriculum design leads to focused discussions
• In-the-boardroom programs develop the board as a whole, providing lasting value
• Timing and duration can accommodate busy director schedules
• Boardroom participation is maximized when programs are scheduled to coincide with established board meeting dates
• Interactive programs encourage the development of new insights

Sessions are focused precisely on what your board wants and needs to know, and the curriculum can be structured to meet RiskMetrics Group’s ISS Governance Services’ accreditation standards.

The Directors’ Network’s philosophy is: If it is of interest to your board, we can build a session to address it. As clients find new challenges each day, The Director’s Network is able to create a wide variety of programs to address them. Some of the more frequently requested topics:

• The board’s role in the development of strategy
• Improving the board’s decision-making process
• Understanding enterprise risk and creating the “risk intelligent” board
• Value-driven ethics and compliance programs
• Assessing earnings quality
• The board’s role in responding to a crisis
• Executive development and succession planning
• Emerging trends in executive compensation
• The board’s role in mergers and acquisitions
• Assessing fraud risk and setting the tone at the top
• Managing competing values in environments of dynamic change
• Industry-specific and competitive developments

Our faculty includes Deloitte & Touche LLP partners and consultants, faculty from the University of Michigan Ross School of Business, distinguished directors, corporate executives, lawyers, auditors, specialized consultants, professors, and regulators.

Remember, Society members receive a 10% discount on the cost of The Directors' Network programs. Please contact Stephanie Joseph at 212-754-3086 and be sure to mention that you are a member.
