Boardman Competence Network

Boardman is an attractive think tank and competence network that plays a key role in developing and raising the level of expertise in ownership, board work and management (the OBM chain), as well as networking among decision-makers.

Boardman’s mission is to support owners, board members and management teams in their mutual collaboration and decision-making processes.

We create and share new knowledge about relevant and important topics to our members, who represent growth entrepreneurs, owners, board members and executives.
