The manner in which PE/VC investors engage post investment has been shown to be a significant influence on the value which is ultimately created. The "independent" NED is a critical element in this post investment engagement process. In addition to this responsibility, the role of the NED is a dynamic one with continual change to the requirements of the role. The programme is designed for NED's to keep abreast not only of the regulatory requirements of the role but also the behavioral ones.
