The First-Ever Board Master Class in India
In Aid of Medici Institute Foundation

Recent events in Indian boardrooms – from the Tatas and Infosys to ICICI and Axis Bank – reaffirm that boardroom surprises will continue. There are a multitude of reasons for this and one of the key factors is the constitution of the right board members and their ability to manage their duties.

This first-ever master class will equip existing board members and board aspirants become better at governance and set global benchmarks. It will indeed help them qualify for bigger roles and better governance hitherto unforeseen in India.

In aid of the Medici Institute Foundation for Diversity and Innovation, registered under Section-25 of the Companies Act,this one-day master class and follow up sessions will be led by the internationally acclaimed Boardroom guru Ralph Ward along with other experts for practical insights in making alignment and strategic governance.

Ralph Ward, along with Medici co-founder Dr Muneer, has been on the forefront of board governance advocacy and together has been writing several expert columns in India (Economic Times, Business Standard, Business Today and Business World) on practical solutions to issues faced by boards. Check http://www.mediciinstitute.org/thought-leadership.php for some of these path-breaking thoughts.

Featuring in-depth discussion on the development and role of boards, governance best practice, structuring effective boards, leadership, and handling “inside the boardroom” conflicts, the Master classwill give participants an intensive, “virtual boardroom” training experience.
