How will this program benefit your organization?
Organizations are increasingly expected to exhibit good governance. This involves not only directors and Supervisory Board members, but also the employees who interact with them. A good manager is not automatically a good director. Directors do not merely lead people: they must also make decisions for the entire organization and be able to explain these decisions. For good corporate governance and oversight, it is also vital for employees and managers who interact with the Supervisory Board to understand the different roles, to ensure smooth operation of governance and oversight.
- An organization can ensure proper oversight by teaching employees about the roles and required competencies of directors and Supervisory Board members.
- Managers are more involved in the organization if they understand how the processes work at the top.
- Organizations create added value by focusing on governance topics that contribute to their success.
DE TIAS EXPERIENCE OF JAN WILLEM THIJS
“The Management & Governance Master Class uses the latest scientific findings to provide a behind-the-scenes peak into boardrooms. What factors determine assessment and decision quality? It’s not about ratios, but rather behavior, (unconscious) assumptions and personalities on the board. The master class covers both theory and practice. The knowledge you gain is useful in understanding not only Boards of Directors and Supervisory Boards, but any management team and decisions you are involved in.” Jan Willem Thijs - Head of Legal Affairs & Real Estate, Brabant Delta Water Board

“UNWRITTEN RULES AND UNCONSCIOUS MINDSETS IN THE BOARDROOM ARE OFTEN UNDERVALUED.”
A WORD FROM OUR ACADEMIC DIRECTOR
“With corporate governance, I mainly think of the three-way relationship between directors, Supervisory Board members and their stakeholders. Good governance should add long-term value to an organization. It’s not just about financial gains – it’s also about customer and employee satisfaction and the innovative capacity of the organization. Discussions on governance often revolve around laws and regulations, but it’s precisely the unwritten rules and unconscious mindsets in the boardroom that have a major impact on long-term value creation. In this master class, we walk you through all the key topics in management and governance. To give you a clear view of the world of Supervisory Boards.”
