FIND OUT MORE: https://www.iod.com/training/ qualifications/acceleratedcertificate-in-company-direction The Role of the Non-Executive Director course by Phil Webster, Pragmatiks Consulting Limited I had been thinking about developing a portfolio career for a while when I came across the IoD’s ‘Role of the Non-Executive Director’ one-day course. The course aims were to provide insight into the roles and attributes of a NED, to help understand how to find suitable NED roles and to provide delegates with the knowledge and skills needed to prepare for being a NED. For obvious reasons, the course was run ‘virtually’ and the course started with introductions and a run through of the agenda. What then followed was a combination of case studies which we discussed in smaller break-out groups and then as a group; sharing of real-life experiences and examples and Q&A sessions in breakout rooms with an experienced portfolio NED and a head-hunter. A hamper of cheese and biscuits was provided to enjoy during the networking session at the end of the course. If you are unsure about the legal implications of being a NED and how to best position yourself for success, I would strongly recommend attending the course.
