Diversity on Boards Programmes

The value of the peer network is a key aspect of The Diversity on Boards Programmes, as highlighted by previous participants. Throughout the programme, you will have the opportunity to network with peers, including during dedicated networking sessions that are held alongside the workshops. Additionally, there will be a session where participants from both programmes are brought together, providing a valuable opportunity to expand your network and learn from others. Following successful completion, you will be invited to Alumni events where you will meet peers from other cohorts who have completed the programme.

As part of the programme, you will also be offered membership to The Deloitte Academy, which is a by invitation-only-platform. The Deloitte Academy provides members with access to a range of resources and insights related to key board issues, including talent, digital, governance, remuneration, and other challenges and opportunities that boards may face. Through The Deloitte Academy, participants will have the opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions and debates with other board members and subject matter experts, further enhancing their knowledge and skills.

The Women on Boards Programme has been running since 2011, following a number of key independent reviews to support more women on boards. We are delighted that over 380 women have now completed the programme. The Race in the Boardroom Programme was introduced in 2017 to promote racial diversity on UK boards in support of the recommendations from the Parker Tyler Review. The programme was developed in collaboration with the Black British Business Awards and has recently celebrated 100 leaders now completing the programme.
