IDP - SID-INSEAD International Directors Programme

Level Advanced.
Course Description The Singapore Institute of Directors has partnered with leading business school INSEAD and the INSEAD Corporate Governance Centre to bring the acclaimed International Directors Programme to Asia. The International Directors Programme (IDP) seeks to develop more effective directors for the increasingly complex governance challenges presented by dynamic global markets. Conducted in three modules of three days each, the programme is designed to take directors to the next level by going beyond compliance and focusing on excellence in board practice. The IDP offers practical and tested frameworks as well as tools to hone judgement, sharpen decision-making and augment the oversight abilities of directors seeking to boost their existing competencies and better prepare for new board mandates.

Participants come from a range of backgrounds across the globe, providing the group with a broader perspective on directors’ challenges. Participants can choose to enrol for the IDP Asia cohort that features all three modules delivered on INSEAD’s campus in Singapore or one that offers Modules 1 and 3 on INSEAD’s campus in Singapore and Module 2 on INSEAD’s Fontainebleau campus in France. Participants who successfully complete the three modules of the IDP may apply for the INSEAD Certificate in Corporate Governance.
