Strategic & Leadership-focused

Effective boards regularly review not just skills and experience, but also how well members work together. CIoD Nigeria supports this process through Director Development Services designed to strengthen board capability, dynamics, and overall effectiveness.

Programmes are delivered by experienced facilitators who have operated at board level across private, public, and not-for-profit organisations. Each programme is tailored to an organisation’s specific needs, based on a detailed brief and clear outcomes, often uncovering insights that add extra value.

Courses run from one to three days and are designed from a director’s perspective. They offer practical learning, minimal disruption to busy schedules, and opportunities to connect with other directors while building stronger, more effective boards.

Supporting your development

Dynamic and professional boards of directors have a collective responsibility to ensure that each individual can perform their duty effectively and lead the organisation.

CIoD Nigeria’s development programmes will equip you, as a director, with the all-around skills, knowledge, and understanding essential for successfully directing an organisation from a strategic perspective.

Coaching is taken for granted in the world of sports where individuals and teams have a coach to provide motivation, enhance skills, and refine performance.

Ultimately coaching aims to bring out the best in an individual to enable the team to work better as a whole. The same can be said of business and its leaders.
