BRP, designed to respond to adult learning needs and will be delivered both on-line and physically for a period of 2 weeks with the last segment being a residential.

The ICGU/LBA Board Readiness Programme is a 360 degree Board development programme that focuses on the 4 fundamental minimum competencies required for a director to be effective namely; the right -knowledge-set, skill-set, mind-set and behaviour-set. Under each of these fundamentals, we tackle the key principles, practices and dynamics essential to director effectiveness.

The programme will be highly strategic and interactive designed to provide a space for board members and aspiring board members to discuss local realities, plan strategies with peers, and practice the leadership skills required to bring constructive changes to board decision making.

It has been designed to respond to adult learning needs and will be delivered both on-line and physically for a period of 2 weeks with the last segment being a residential.

Our faculty is highly skilled and experienced in their fields of expertise and are board members themselves, guaranteed to bring varied experiences into the discussions during the programme. The programme design also includes guest speakers to give a fresh insight to a particular dynamic.
