Maximize Your Board’s Potential is an invitational state-of-the-art corporate governance program for the international summit. During the intensive four days, eight thought leaders including professors from Harvard and Virginia University will share their experiences while discussing the most recent Harvard Business Cases.
All important aspects of board governance will be addressed varying from external governance in global finance, legal and regulatory institutional frameworks, to governance inside the top layers of corporations and family businesses.
Board members must learn how to deal with disruptive times that bring complex oversight challenges. Among many others, demands for transparency, accountability, efficiency, and corporate strategy involvement are continually increasing. Therefore, a deeper understanding of the role, tasks, and responsibilities of the board is needed to cope with the increasing demands of these topics.

Maximize Your Board’s Potential is an invitational program for board members and executives.
Many executives and vice presidents of large companies participated in past editions of the program. For them, understanding new corporate governance has proven to be extremely useful when intending to expand business ventures, navigate complexity, risks and uncertainty, and last but not least develop leadership tools.
“This class does an excellent job for senior business leaders to understand new corporate governance, the dynamics between the CEO, the Chairman and other members of the Board and to understand how audit, corporate governance nominating & compensation and risk management committees can function best. It makes it easy to appreciate board, executive team and shareholder perspectives in a US and European setting.”

Often, the objective of the discussion is not to reach a consensus, but to understand how different people arrive to diverse conclusions.
