Finance roles with increasing responsibilities
The globalization of business means that international companies must navigate, control, and manage more complex competitive challenges, as well as learn how to govern and work across a variety of countries and cultures. Board members keep the big picture and values of the organization in mind and have the ability to act in complex markets and make decisions that contribute to the sustainable success of the organization. So what international companies and organizations need are board members who combine multicultural know-how with strategic leadership and governance skills in a humane and entrepreneurial way. The International Board Certificate Program (BoD CAS) aims to develop these board skills.
