College

This program is open to executives and professionals who want to prepare for a commissioner role or have recently started as a supervisory board member. Governance is a profession, and it is crucial for prospective commissioners to be aware of their new role, what it entails, and the challenges that come with it.

  • You will receive all the necessary foundational knowledge and its practical application, delivered by top lecturers and top commissioners.
  • You will gain insight into board dynamics, how to be effective, and what potential pitfalls you may encounter in your new role.
  • You will receive a personal assessment through our PACT measurement for commissioners.
  • You will build a large, relevant network.
  • You will have an intake interview with the search consultants and be added to the database.

What we offer is more than just a program; it is a package of opportunities.

PACT Measurement for Supervisory Board Members

The PACT measurement is an innovative and proven tool to gain insight into your core strengths. What do you do from your ‘natural’ strength, and what are you good at but operate from your ‘performance strength’? What does this mean for your role in a supervisory board or governance?

One-on-One Advisory Session

After completing the program, you will have a one-on-one conversation with Hemingway Search to discuss opportunities for a supervisory role, during which we will also review the results of your PACT measurement.

Certificate

Participants will receive the Hemingway Supervisory Board Certificate upon completion.
