The TIO – International Executive Program is intended for international general managers/executives leading a management team, with responsibility for an international market and/or a product segment. The focus of the program is on driving international growth.
The program is open for participants from Atlas Copco, Sandvik, Scania and Stora Enso. International participants from similar companies are also welcome. In recent programs we have had participants from all major parts of the world representing 13–15 nations. Normally no more than 30% of the participants in each TIO group share the same national background.
The program is based in part upon case studies rooted in live situations at the participating companies. During the program consulting teams are put together in which participants are invited to consult each other on specific business issues of interest.
The faculty is international and includes the CEOs/senior executives from the participating companies as guest speakers. One of the unique features of the TIO program is that it provides you with an opportunity to discuss the most current strategic and operational issues of international business with these prominent business leaders.

Description
The International Directors Programme is our flagship course in corporate governance and is a unique educational experience that aims to develop effective directors for the global business scene. Today’s supervisory boards have to contend with a host of new pressures, challenges and risks in addition to evaluating the performance of the CEO and senior executives. They must therefore set the company’s strategic direction, often across diverse product markets and geographies, and monitor the firm’s risk profile.
Set within an international context that is unique in director education, this programme offers practical and tested frameworks and tools to sharpen judgment and decision-making skills. It also augments the oversight abilities of directors seeking to boost their existing competencies or to be better prepared for new board mandates. In three focused modules, you will master strategies for the following fundamental areas: board effectiveness and dynamics; board decision-making and oversight; and director effectiveness and development.
