Professionalize you board work through Networking and certification training

Success for an organization is often dependent on getting all parts to work together – from individual employees, to synergy between departments, managers, management team, CEO and board. Understanding of other parts of the organization is the basis of consensus, and board work in particular is often considered disconnected and mythical, at the same time as it is the most important strategic management function.

Therefore, we see that organizations regardless of size deserve to learn about board work in the capacity of understanding, collaborating and influencing. Likewise, we see that more and a greater variety of board graduates would serve our ecosystem and thus invite you to this unique opportunity to delve deeper into this work.

There are many different success factors, experiences and form requirements to take part in, in order to become more professional in managing your company. In collaboration with StyrelseAkademien, STUNS offers a series of meetings where the ambition is for participants to gain an important insight into the governance of a company.

Together we form a unique network where everyone shares the same idea and vision – to create more professional boards. Partly because we know that it contributes to strengthening the innovation capacity, competitiveness and ability of Swedish companies and organisations. But also for all the other positives it brings; A sustainable and future-proof business sector and secured welfare, for the creation of jobs and the development of Sweden as a country for current and future generations.

Erik Jonzon, from  StyrelseAkademien Uppsala, will be leading the program series. Read more about Erik and StyrelseAkademien further down on this page.
