Testimonials
Emily Waita Macharia
Africa Public Affairs Director For Coca-Cola Africa
I wanted to understand various aspects of climate change, how they are being addressed and how best to influence key stakeholders and other leaders to make meaningful change. I learnt new concepts that I didn’t even know existed. This program gave me a thorough deep dive and world-class perspectives on effectively addressing climate change.
Anna Tudela
Former Vice-President, Diversity, Regulatory Affairs and Corporate Secretary, Goldcorp Inc
In my role as Corporate Secretary of a major mining company I’ve seen board members not asking the right questions. Every company should consider asking at least one or two of their board members to enroll and attend this program. The program is superb as it offers views from many people from different parts of the world who have opinions or questions which makes all of us think differently. I see a lot of value in the program and consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity to be part of it.
Pamela Strifler
Vice President of Global Stakeholder Strategy and Affairs, Bayer Crop Science
I would highly recommend the Competent Boards Program as you will hear from Global leaders, engage in real-time issues and dive into the complexities that Boards must consider in decision making, including ESG which affects the long-term reputation and viability of the company. This program is for current executives, management teams presenting to Boards or prospective Board members.
