Director development
IoD: Helping you improve as a director
The IoD Professional Director
Series is now available online
free of charge to members
To help you understand your role as a
director, and future-proof your board and
organisation, the IoD has developed the
Professional Director Series to be
delivered virtually – bringing accessible
and digestible CPD straight to you.
The whole series is mapped to the IoD
Director Competency Framework, keeping
your learning relevant, up-to-date and in
line with your professional development
ambitions. Whether you’re embarking on
the Certificate in Company Direction or
are a qualified Chartered Director, this
CPD series is the perfect accompaniment
– or refresher – to your existing knowledge.
You’ll be part of a group of leaders from
organisations of all shapes and sizes from
across our regions and nations, allowing
you to connect, learn from each other,
share your setbacks and successes, and
encourage each other at the most senior
level during these difficult times.
Our Professional Director Series is now
available complimentary to all full IoD
members including CDir and FIoD.

Forthcoming sessions
Leading from
the Chair
Course Dates: April 28, June 23,
September 15 and November 10
Times: 10am-12 noon
Location: IoD Virtual Development,
Virtual Classroom
Cost: Members, CDir, FIoD, Free
Non-members: £100 + VAT
The role of the Chair in an organisation is
often misunderstood and regularly
becomes confused with the role of the CEO.
It is far more than managing the process
of board meeting execution. Analysis of
successful organisations shows that the
leadership role of the Chair is vital in order
to ensure that the board as a team makes
decisions and discharges its duties
effectively. This session will clarify the
Chair’s leadership role in order to unleash
the value creating potential of the board.
Delegates will be able to:
• Outline the purpose of the Chair
• Describe the skills, attributes and
characteristics of an effective Chair
• Identify how the Chair can add value
both in and out of the boardroom
With special thanks to our Leading from
the Chair sponsor for 2021 - OnBoard by
Passageways. OnBoard is a comprehensive
and secure board management software
that helps you govern more effectively.
