Is the boardroom the next chapter in your leadership journey? This IMD masterclass is your starting line.

Becoming a board director means shifting from doing to guiding, from directing teams to shaping decisions, and from operational ownership to strategic oversight. It calls for a different kind of leadership; one that’s grounded in influence and long-term value creation.

This IMD masterclass, led by Georg Guttmann, Affiliate Professor of Corporate Governance and Strategy, opens a practical window into what it takes to make this move, and what the role of a board director demands.

You’ll explore the expectations shaping today’s director roles, what effective board impact looks like in practice, and how influence really works in the boardroom.

You’ll also have a chance to discover IMD’s board portfolio and learning pathways, and how they can kick-start your path to your first board mandate.
