ecoDA - Training Programme

ecoDa [the European Confederation of Directors' Associations, acting as the European Voice of Directors,] has developed a European module for Directors and supervisory board members seeking to gain a European perspective on board functioning and corporate governance.

The training programme is targeted at directors with a cross-border mandate in their
board activities or looking for such a mandate. Anyone seeking to update their
knowledge of recent EU policy developments in the field of corporate governance will
also benefit from the module.

As result of global economic forces, modern boards are becoming increasingly diverse in
their composition and business perspectives. For companies operating across Europe,
directors and supervisory board member must rapidly gain an understanding of
unfamiliar corporate governance systems, regulations, and best practices. They also
need an overview of the rapidly changing and often complex EU policy debate on
corporate governance.

ecoDa’s programme promotes the Europeanization of the boardroom. It allows
participants to benchmark their own board and governance practices with those of
similar companies in other European countries. It offers an expert briefing on significant
policy issues in European corporate governance (including regulatory developments).
Throughout the module, participants are provided with the information and
know-how that will be essential in fulfilling a cross-border board mandate.

A valuable benefit of the programme is the chance to become part of a unique ecoDa
professional network consisting of individuals with a distinctive interest and expertise
in pan-European corporate governance and board functioning.

For its programme, ecoDa cooperates with INSEAD. In fact, three hours board case simulation session is delivered by INSEAD.

This module will start on Tuesday October 21 2014 at 8:30 and finish on Wednesday October 22 2014 at 18:15. For two days at the Thon EU Hotel, rue de la loi 75 in Brussels, high ranking people from different societies and Institutes of Directors from all over Europe will share their experience, study cases and discuss the new governance challenges in Europe.
