I dont think director will/should perform any work at the project level!!
I would look at the following issues:
* Project start-up
* Status reporting
* Getting to know all clients in my area and the value IBM brings to them
* Budget authorization
* Any areas of particular success or failure that need standards
You might find some of the papers that I have done recently on strategy and project management to be useful. Take a look at:

As a Director, he will be responsible for the compliance. He should ensure that the process are put in place. He is also responsible for the relationship with the customers. He should also review the performance of the project manager (SPI).
