With the role of Boards coming under greater scrutiny, never before has there been a more important time for Boards to review their effectiveness and consciously define their approach.

We work with Boards to:

Gain clarity as to their role and the role of the executive with whom they work

Understand the notion of organisation culture, how it is shaped and, truly understand the role they play in influencing the culture of the organisation they govern

Determine the Board culture that will best allow them to govern effectively

Strengthen relationships between board members and agree the way they will work together

Ensure the quality and validity of the information flow from the organisation

Determine the strategy or strategic intent (depending on the role of the specific Board) for the organisation.

Our Approach

DISCOVER

More Info

The first step in improving the effectiveness of any Board is to determine how the Board members and key stakeholders view the Board performance and analyse what is required to improve it. Discovery allows us to understand individual, board and organisation context, strengths and opportunities, challenges and dilemmas facing the Board. This phase usually involves:

  • Deep structured one on one interviews with each Board member and other key stakeholders
  • Review of strategy, structure, performance measures and results.

DESIGN

More Info
Once we have a clear understanding of the business outcomes and challenges facing the Board, the areas that are working well and those requiring attention, we will design a program that works for your Board in terms of timing, budget and outcomes.

It may be a full day offsite, a series of half day sessions, a 12 month development program, or a series of individual coaching sessions culminating in a Board workshop and quarterly check-in sessions.

DELIVER

More Info
How the program is delivered depends on the outputs of the Discovery phase, Board availability and budget. We’re flexible and have worked with hundreds of Boards, leadership, project and multi-disciplinary teams so we know what works….. and what doesn’t!

Chris and her associates all have a background in organisation dynamics and transformational facilitation. Their approach to the work is to be creative, challenging, insightful, respectful, responsive and energising.

What People Are Saying

The Board strategy session led by Chris was recognised as one of the most productive strategic sessions held and the outcomes were focused and provide a strong framework for the future direction. As Chief Executive, working with Chris was an absolute pleasure. Her ability to understand the brief and translate it into a practical session plan that delivered significant and demonstrable outcomes was second to none.
Nicholas Burt

CEO, FMA

Chris skilfully navigated the workshop, altering her approach and pace to match the conversations and energy of the group.  I have also seen Chris work extremely effectively with very senior leadership teams and she develops a relaxed and intimate environment within which teams have can have those ‘hard conversations’.”
