NACD has been on the leading edge of corporate governance, setting standards of excellence that have elevated board performance, for over 40 years.
Their mission is to empower directors and transform boards to be future ready.
Challenge
When the National Association of Corporate Directors needed professional development to help their teams perform at even higher levels, they asked e3 Strategies to help develop intellectual leadership among staff with a range of experience and expertise.
Solution
e3 Strategies designed and delivered a workshop designed to challenge teams to think beyond their currently defined processes, especially as they related to decision-making.
The workshop helped NACD's staff develop a pragmatic and open approach to decision-making.
As part of the workshop, participants were asked to identify specific actions both the organization and individuals could take to improve decision-making. Not only did employees rate the workshop overwhelmingly positively, former CEO Ken Daly said, "Following our workshop with e3 Strategies, there is now an appreciation for group-think and some of the challenges it presents, such as lack of intellectual leadership. Now our staff has a much better understanding of what that means and how to avoid the fog."
In addition, e3 Strategies worked with NACD’s Education team to help them devise strategies for their e-learning initiatives that provide ongoing professional development for their members.

“Stephanie opened our eyes to the value of instructional design and introduced us to the world of distance learning far beyond webinars. She showed us how to set up real learning objectives and check ourselves against those goals by implementing takeaways for attendees that really stick.”
