Board Development

Our Board Development portfolio includes:

> Integrated Board Development Programmes & In-House Board Seminars
Customised, flexible in-house programmes building individual competence and Board performance.

> In-House Board Seminars
One-off topical seminars designed to your specification to experienced and newer Board members with the opportunity to develop competencies and share knowledge and experience.

> Structured Board Review and Renewal
Designed to enable Boards to respond to legal and regulatory requirements, this well-established review and renewal process draws on the most recent guidance on corporate governance. It offers a choice of tools to help Boards assess their performance, governance structure, relationships and competence.

> Board Advice & Facilitation
Central’s consultancy framework helps new Boards or those addressing change issues to develop strategy, structures, policies and delegated authority. Process observation can provide data for the Board to tackle issues around working together as well as individual development needs. Central’s mentors can help Boards and individuals grapple with sensitive and difficult issues.

> Development for Board Chairs
A structured development programme including diagnosis, roles and responsibilities, chairing skills and leadership development. Mentoring and networks are also available.

> Capacity Building for Tenant/Service User Board Members
An opportunity to demystify the formal meeting and committee protocols and ‘jargon’ which often act as barriers to full participation. The programme also clarifies the legal and governance issues arising from any potential conflict of roles, and is especially appropriate for organisations recruiting Board members from local communities or exploring new models of governance such as public interest companies.
