Dear Priyam,
Is yours a Public Limited Company? If yes, then approach Institute of Directors (IOD), Bangalore. They conduct training programmes related to quality subjects and responsibilities of the directors in public limited companies.
If your company is in SME category then I recommend you conducting training programme on "Managership to Leadership". Directors should understand that they are no longer managers and leadership at their level is quite different.
If your company is well-matured then I recommend for them "Strategic Planning". The number one trouble is that many managers don't understand difference between strategy and operational efficiency. Latter is often dismissed as former. But this is not the case that they should understand clearly.
Classic example of not understanding strategic aspects of business is Kodak. Though into the business for a long time, they have now filed for bankruptcy. What about our own Kingfisher Airlines? Is it not strategic failure? Strategic foresight is prerequisite of top management.
It is the directors' responsible to create a culture of performance. For this they should understand concept of "Performance Management System" very well. Many of the top management personnel do not understand where to focus on.
Lastly, it is directors that shape culture of company. What kind of culture your company has? Is it a:
- culture of competitiveness?
- culture of performance?
- culture of ownership?
- culture of innovation?
- culture of values?
- culture of change?
- culture of welfare?
- culture of celebration?
I handle training on each of the above subject except what I mentioned about IOD. Confirm what kind of training your Directors want. I am senior faculty and age of faculty would not be issue for your Directors.
Thanks,
