Chair of Board
(Hyväksytty Hallituksen Jäsen puheenjohtajakurssi in English)
5.-6.6.2026
HELSINKI
The role of the Board of Directors of an SME has grown in society and thus also in the development of society. One of the current focus areas of the state administration and the private sector is the promotion of entrepreneurship, the development of SMEs’ operations, and supporting growth. This creates opportunities for creating new jobs and preserving old jobs. In this work, the Board of Directors of an SME has a major strategic role, especially its Chair of the Board.
The SME Chair of Board Course deals with board leadership and group dynamics. The Chair of the Board should act similarly to an orchestra conductor or pilot. They must have the ability to develop board competence, both their own and that of the board members. A functioning board acts as a resource and guide for the company.
Scope: The course consists of two days. Please note: the days are Friday and Saturday.
Content: The course lays the foundation for the practical work of the Chair of the Board of Directors of SMEs. Topics include:
- Core tasks and efficiencies of the board
- Company strategy, decision-making, and management system
- Meeting management and procedures
- Business development and the CEO’s review
- Interaction between the board and the Chair
- Duties and responsibilities of the Chair of the Board
Target group: This course is suitable for both Chairs of Boards and those who intend to become Chair.
The course content reflects the renewed CBM Chair / HHJ Hallituksen puheenjohtaja (Chair of the Board) course delivered in Finnish. With its updated content, the course is also well suited for those who have previously attended the course in Finnish and wish to refresh and deepen their expertise in English.
Basic information: Participants are required to have taken the HHJ/CBM Course or have equivalent knowledge for this course.
The course requires a minimum of 8 participants and can accommodate a maximum of 18 participants.
