Making Corporate Boards More Effective

Who Is Right for the Program

The HBS Executive Education program Making Corporate Boards More Effective is designed to meet the needs of board members in both established public companies and those planning to go public. Emphasizing the common issues facing all boards of directors of public companies, the program welcomes participants from a broad range of industries.

"Networking with peer directors, I was able to gauge whether they were having similar board experiences and learn from their various perspectives and insights. This definitely strengthened my commitment to continue exchanging ideas and practices as board service becomes more demanding and reaches a higher level of performance. The behind-the-scenes comments from participants who had actually been present in some of the cases discussed—like Disney, HP, and American Express—were invaluable."
