Board and CEO Renewal

Fresh thinking and skills are vital for organisations to maintain an edge in a highly competitive environment.

Your strategic sweet spot is that space in which you can satisfy customer needs better, cheaper or differently from your competitors and that we can help you to identify, create or leverage through enhanced leadership and corporate governance. We work in partnership with you to identify and operationalise your corporate strategy. We look at risk and strategy employing entrepreneurial insights to develop your corporate strategy.

Board performance evaluations

We will work with the Board to implement a review against agreed directorship principles to ensure:

For the Chair

The promise of the board and company remaining aligned
The functions of directorship are being effectively managed by the leadership team and guided by the Chair
A high-performing directorship team has been appointed, trained and is well supported by the Chair
Relationships between fellow directors and the extended management team are robust
The improvement program is effectively implemented

For Directors

Alignment with strategy and risk appetite
Contribution to the work of the board in the 4 functions
Adaptive behaviour according to function in relations with peers and management
Continuous development and succession planning

We also examine the capabilities, accountabilities and behaviours that underpin the complex dance between directors and management. Creating clear structures and processes for decision making and information flow that suit the organisation’s culture creates synergy – the mark of a truly high performing team.

Board Review

Legal requirements aside, there is no ‘right’ corporate governance structure.

The most effective corporate governance structures and practices depend on many factors including the maturity of the company, the sector it is in and its current purpose.

Our Governance Review is designed to match the structure of the organisation with its purpose and covers:

Legal requirements
Stakeholder inclusion/exclusion
Foundational structure and practices
Governance documents and Charters

Other Services

Board interviews including Exit interviews
Board Planning Days
Board Strategy Workshops
Board/Management Focus Groups
Developing Board Charters
Protocol/Behavioural advice
Preparing Board Plans
Exit Interviews
