The Haines Centre for Strategic Management has formed the Examination Board Concept under the Joint Sponsorship of the University of San Diego to ensure the Mastery Level high quality, world-class State-of-the-Art Best Practices of our Certification Programs. It is no longer good enough to just be one of the Centre's Global Partners and Principals, but the Examination Board Members must also demonstrate the highest level qualities below: They are the only Master Consultants and Trainers authorized to Lead both these Certifications and their associated public workshops.

Purpose of each Board:
The Purpose of each Board is to be overall responsible for the design, development, delivery and quality control of that Board Topic. It includes responsibilities ranging from Public and In-House Workshops to the Gold Mastery Certification in order to preserve these topics as our Competitive Business Advantages.

Members of this Board are generally:

1. True Master Consultants and Trainers
2. With over 20 years in the business,
3. With degrees in the field,
4. At least five years in the Centre using the Systems Thinking Approach® to Strategic Management and Costs/Simplicity
5. Successful practitioners with CEO clients on Strategic Management and Costs/Simplicity
6. With clients in more than one country.

Selection Process:
The current Board Members for each Examination Board must all agree to admit any new members under the recommendation of Stephen Haines as the owner, Founder and CEO. This is based on their performance in being a highly skilled faculty member in the Certification Week as well as the Public Workshop faculty as well. Only then can they be qualified to be consideration of selection to the appropriate Examination Board.
