This is an elite course for experienced leaders.
As such, to gain entrance to the course interested candidates must be accepted via the application process.

You will have to demonstrate that you have the requisite knowledge and experience, including:

  • completion of the Company Directors Course
  • a minimum of three years’ experience as a director
  • experience on multiple boards

or

  • a minimum of five years’ experience as a director
  • experience on multiple boards

Applicants will be advised of the results of their application within 5 working days of applying.

Boardroom Mastery will challenge you to perform under high pressure conditions. Your existing experience will be tested to elicit personal behaviours and social capabilities.

You will join a board with your peers and work as a group to analyse information, share views and decide courses of action to address realistic governance and crisis scenarios.

Expert facilitators will create conditions which challenge you in three areas:

  • Director self – Your ability to manage your thinking and behaviour to ensure effective communication and contribution towards the group’s goals.
  • Board dynamics – Your individual ability to manage the contribution of your peers to produce effective governance decision making.
  • Governance knowledge – Your ability to apply governance theory under conditions of complexity and uncertainty.

By the end of the course, you will have:

  • greater self-awareness by knowing your expertise and its limits, your motives and biases, your behaviours at your best and your worst.
  • improved self-control by managing attention, focus, emotional responses, contributions and group behaviour.
  • increased boardroom awareness to identify power and influence games, structural and perspective biases, decision stages, boardroom dynamics and dysfunctional behaviour patterns.

Facilitated by experienced governance experts and an organisational psychologist, the focus of Boardroom Mastery is self-mastery, emotional intelligence, influence and personal effectiveness.

Prior to commencement, you will have a coaching session with an independent organisational psychologist. The psychologist will attend the three days of the course and will provide you with further individual feedback.

Then, with a small cohort of fellow experienced directors, you will form a new board for the real-play simulation and case study.

Over three days circumstances will arise requiring your immediate board attention, crucial governance decision making and demonstrably strong leadership.

The pressure factors in the simulation involve ambiguous and provocative events that mirror real-world occurrences.

This applied learning course is the essential next step for experienced directors wanting to take themselves to the next level.

Boardroom Mastery certainly took me out of my comfort zone. I worked with an amazing group of non-executive directors, and gained insights and connections that I know will make me a better director.

The three-day Boardroom Mastery simulation really challenged me to reflect on how my behaviours impact others and what I can do to help the boards I sit on be more effective. I highly recommend it.
