Now in its 5th year, the FWB Park Brown and University of Edinburgh Business School NXD Academy provides a practical series covering key NXD issues led by experienced Chairs and NXDs.

The programme is designed to be highly practical, addressing the key issues facing Boards and NXDs. Led by experienced Chairs and NXDs, it is aimed at those interested in all types and sizes of organisation - listed, private, entrepreneurial, SMEs, public sector and not-for-profit. Each session is interactive with small group activities and real-life case studies, together with plenary Q&A and discussion. These sessions have been designed to allow plenty of time for interaction and active learning in all areas. Whilst each session has a main topic, the discussions and questions are wide-ranging.

If you are going to make just one investment in your personal development this year, choose this programme. It offers leading Chairs and NXDs at the top of their game and crucially willing to share; the structured format delivers relevant, concentrated insights and the online format offers maximum efficiency. Finally, you will never conclude a session without the opportunity to connect offline with experienced fellow participants.
