Board advisory

An independent, experienced voice for chairs, boards and committees, helping you make better decisions and govern with confidence.

Every board benefits from an outside perspective. I work alongside chairs, boards and committees as an independent adviser: someone who has no stake in the outcome, understands how boards really work, and will ask the questions that are hard to ask from the inside.

How I can help

  • Independent adviser to the board or chair: regular sounding-board support, attendance at board or committee meetings, and challenge where it is needed.
  • Board effectiveness reviews: a structured look at how your board works, from composition and culture to agendas, papers and decision-making.
  • Board papers and information: helping management give the board the right information, in the right form, so meetings focus on decisions.
  • Director induction and development: getting new directors and trustees up to speed quickly, and building the skills of the whole board.
  • Technology on the board agenda: helping boards oversee cyber, AI and digital change without needing to be technical experts.

Who this is for

Boards of growing companies, owner-managed businesses preparing for investment, charities and not-for-profits, and public sector bodies who want independent support without the cost of a large firm.
