The Effective Board Member programmes (EBM) is a series of leading accredited programmes supporting board members to become more effective in executing their duties.
The internationally renowned EBM is coming to London from 21st – 22nd March 2016.
The London launch is as a result of a collaboration between Dr Yvonne Thompson CBE – Author of Amazon’s best-selling “7 Traits of Highly Successful Women on Boards’, multi-published author and course creator Prof. Karl George MBE and Green Park Recruitment. 
Delivered by EBM and hosted by Green Park Interim and Executive Search over two days, the programme teaches participants corporate governance principles; about governance codes and how the learning gained can be applied in practice to ensure graduates become effective board members.
All facilitators have a plethora of practical board experience and are qualified as EBM Licensed Trainers. The programmes use engaging and interactive learning techniques such as The Board Game to ensure participants can apply their learning in a memorable and practical way.
