The International Non-Executive College Program

For ‘non-Dutch speaking’ executives and professionals

This program is for ‘non-Dutch speaking’ executives and professionals who want to prepare for a supervisory board position or who have recently started as a supervisory board member. Supervising is a profession, and it is crucial for members to be aware of their non- executive role, their requirements, Dutch governance issues, external supervisor policies and the challenges that come with the position.

In summary:

  • You will gain insight into Dutch board dynamics and the potential pitfalls in your non-executive.
  • You will have a personal PACT assessment specially designed for non-executives.
  • You will become part of a high value en relevant board network.
