Executive Leadership and Board Readiness for Senior HR Leaders Course in Barcelona

Senior HR leaders occupy a unique position in any organisation — they understand governance, people strategy, labour regulation, and organisational culture in ways that few other executives can match. Yet moving from a General Manager of Human Capital to a Vice President or Chief People Officer demands more than functional expertise. It requires a shift in how you lead, how you engage at board level, and how you translate deep HR knowledge into enterprise-wide strategic authority.

This five-day programme is designed for that transition. Delegates work through executive decision-making frameworks, board governance responsibilities, rewards strategy, and the stakeholder engagement skills that define credible senior leaders.

For those preparing to step into a VP role, the course provides a structured path: sharpening your leadership narrative, building your board-readiness plan, and developing the confidence to lead at the highest level.

• Articulate a compelling executive leadership narrative aligned to C-suite and board expectations
• Apply advanced strategic decision-making frameworks to complex, ambiguous organisational challenges
• Develop a rewards and compensation strategy that links total remuneration to business performance and talent retention
• Evaluate the responsibilities of Nomination and Remuneration Committees and their role in executive governance
• Analyse board-level governance structures, fiduciary duties, and the expectations placed on senior executive leaders
• Build a personal board-readiness plan that identifies capability gaps and targeted development actions
• Assess how executive HR leaders influence enterprise culture, workforce planning, and long-term organisational resilience
• Identify the political, stakeholder, and reputational dimensions of senior executive decision-making
