BOARD

DESIGN AND BUILD

The days of smoke-filled rooms, with ‘friends’ getting together to discuss the company’s future are long gone, but unfortunately ‘rudderless’ boards continue.  Smart companies and savvy stakeholders now want their boards to be a council of strategic advisors that can be fluid and flexible and have a deep understanding of the company and its future.

 

With nearly 30 years of experience in operations, coaching, and investing, at NEDx we may have learned a thing or two about what an effective, well-run board looks like. We have gleaned most of this hard-earned knowledge from witnessing what not to do.

Too many boards are poorly organised, with little or no -re-structuring, and an imbalanced composition of members.

 

Building a board is incredibly challenging, yet getting it right is critical in setting the tone for success from the start, elevating a burgeoning start-up to the next level or meeting the long-term needs of a rapidly growing business. When we are engaged to design and build a board, we spend a significant amount of time in the pre-build phase to ensure the foundations are strong. We spend time with the stakeholders, management team, existing board members to understand the dynamics, objectives and needs of the various stakeholders.
