WHAT WE DO
For Boards
Best in class policies and procedures surrounding board operations can have a profound influence on the culture of the board and directly impact the dialogue in the boardroom to keep it focused on the board’s role as an overseer.
We can help you rethink your governance process, improve performance and create a stellar board.
Shared Leadership
The dividing line between big, board-level decisions and day-to-day, CEO-level decisions and between devising plans and carrying them out, is not always clear. The ability for both sides to communicate honestly and openly is essential.
We can help you achieve your shared accountabilities by bringing clarity to the workflows and aligning expectations.
For CEOs
Even the most capable CEOs are not a solo act. You need clarity and direction from your Board and be able to give feedback. Having a good realtionship with the board is essential to your success.
We can help you manage your mandate and encourage the “noses in, fingers out” model.

SHARED LEADERSHIP
The dividing line between big, board-level decisions and day-to-day, CEO-level decisions and between devising plans and carrying them out, is not always clear. The ability for both sides to communicate honestly and openly is essential.
We can help you achieve your shared accountabilities by bringing clarity to the workflows and aligning expectations.
Board success starts with the relationship between the directors and the CEO. The ability for both sides to communicate honestly and openly is essential. Board members must walk a line. They must ensure the CEO and other managers are addressing key issues, but they should not micromanage the company.
Rapport with the CEO is built upon trust, respect and honesty and complemented by predictability and excellence. Boards and CEOs that nurture good rapport, also establish robust strategic plans and performance measuring systems to take the organization to the next level.
We can facilitate the development of:
- Strategic Planning
- Balanced Scorecards
- KPIs, Metrics and Dashboards
- Risk Management System and Reporting

We coach CEOs on establishing a communication framework that wins the board. We can help you with:
- Managing your Mandate
