GCC BDI is very proud of its Chartered Directors. These are individuals who have completed the GCC BDI Chartered Director Programme and put into practice the learning they have acquired from both the Certificate and Diploma in Board Directorship through the application of a single or group of projects.
Achieving the award of Chartered Director means that a director has demonstrated the leadership skills to execute change within their organisation. A director with an award of Chartered Director is equipped to make a valuable contribution to any Board.
Testimonial from our Chartered Director graduate
"As the first GCC BDI Chartered Director, I was invited to share my experiences and key takeaways from this transformative journey. Initially, I believed that the GCC BDI Diploma programme was sufficient. However, the Chartered programme has proven to be an invaluable experience, yielding significant benefits that far outweigh the time and cost investment.
The unique aspect of the Chartered programme lies in its practical approach. It requires participants to apply corporate governance principles to real-world scenarios, fostering a deep understanding and the ability to produce tangible results. The support provided by GCC BDI, from proposal submission to panel defence, including the guidance of assigned advisors, creates a safe and enriching learning environment.
By the end of the programme, I had significantly advanced my knowledge of the corporate governance framework and further developed my essential board director skills. This newfound confidence has enabled me to enhance my ability to effectively frame board issues, identify necessary actions, and contribute meaningfully to board discussions. For anyone aiming to deepen their understanding of the corporate governance framework and pursue a safe, professional platform to master the necessary directorship skills—especially in the GCC region—I highly recommend a directorship programme".
