RX For The Board - A Prescription for Success
The New Epidemic
Poor judgment and bad decisions in the Boardroom have become the new epidemic. Its symptoms mask a deeper plague which reduces the effectiveness of Boards and risks the well-being of Corporate Directors. The symptoms are everywhere - failed corporations, discredited executives, revolving-door management, public dishonesty, abuse of power, superficial strategies, and failed initiatives. The new epidemic erupts in small and large companies alike. Its onset begins with the germination of viral attitudes that gradually spread from one Board Member to another until the virus consumes the healthy resistance to ill-conceived strategies. Eventually the epidemic erodes confidence in the leaders of major institutions and overcomes the well-being of Corporate Directors.
If you are a Corporate Director, it is enough to make you sick. Your well-being is at risk. Intuitively many executives recognize the risks and hazards of 21st Century challenges. Nevertheless, these executive do little to nurture their own well-being as Corporate Directors. The Newkirk Group is concerned about this epidemic and offers an RX for the Board as a remedy. Responding to the call to halt the spread of this crippling epidemic, we developed a repository of knowledge to inoculate Boards against the impending threat to their well-being. We designed a series of short, highly focused developmental interventions to build the immunity of Corporate Directors and increase their effectiveness as Board Members.
The Board Remedy
Our RX for the Board Remedy includes 26 modules specially designed to improve Board well-being for individuals and teams. The power of our regimen springs from its flexibility, inter-connectedness, and customization. Although we offer a recommended regimen for the convenience of clients, we designed our RX for the Board Remedy to work best when clients pick, choose, and otherwise customize a desired regimen by selecting from our continually evolving catalogue of modules. Clients self-design an event according to the needs of their specific Boards. Clients are also free to request a special module in the event they do not see the desired topic in the catalogue. We refer to this as the for the Board self-design process.
The Self-Design Process
Please examine the following catalogue. Customize your own regimen by following our simple RX for the Board self-design process. If you desire a one day program, select any five modules from the catalogue. If you prefer a two day event, select any 10 modules. For a three day event, select any fifteen. You can build them as one, two, or three day programs. You can also schedule them as a series of one day seminars in a schedule of your own choosing. The modules are so information-packed that you may even choose to build an entire one day seminar around any specific category. Our RX for the Board Remedy is flexible and evolutionary. We designed it to accommodate your schedule and interest.
This highly selective Board of Directors program is open to achievement minded private and public sector professionals. Designing their own development paths, Directors select modules that meet their individual and group needs and satisfy their professional aspirations. Our Board Leadership Programs offer interdisciplinary education and development in the following areas of professional recognition:
- Leadership & Board Dynamics
