“What we need now is to prepare people to
become leaders, not just managers, and to
equip them with the wider leadership and
strategic skills that are essential for effective
board performance and operations. We see this
as a fantastic opportunity to combine the BCS’s
representation of professionalism in IT with the
insight into board governance as provided by the
IoD.”
David Clarke, Chief Executive, BCS
IoD / BCS Diploma in
Company Direction
Helping to prepare IT Professionals for the board room
What holds us back?
• Too often senior IT professionals have
failed to reach the boardroom because of
a lack of nontechnical skills,
• or a perception that they are separate to
the core business.
• IT professionals should be respected for
their contribution to business goals and
aspire to directorship.
What our customers say:
• “I would particularly recommend it for all middle and
senior managers who aspire to board level. It gives
you a strategic understanding of how companies
operate and how people at board level make
decisions. As a BCS member it is value for money,
definitely.” - Chris Lubbe, Application Portfolio
Manager, West Sussex Council
• “The course is excellent because not only does it
provide a baseline of theory, there is a focus on reallife commercial experience and it is scheduled to fit
in with our busy, professional lives.”- Jane
McNamara, Independent Consultant, Lilliard
