Governance
SERVICES
Our Governance Practice is dedicated to encouraging boards at the highest level
WHAT WE DO
We have a proven track record of supporting boards across a variety of ownership structures and operating models.
From leading listed companies, to co-operatives, Crown entities, family businesses, large private organisations, non-profits, and start-ups, we invest time in understanding each organisation and have developed a reputation for delivering robust and high-quality, yet practical, advice which is grounded in the strategic context.
Since our inception in 2005, we have been developing an impressive network of leaders in the market, supported by a diligent team of experienced researchers and a creative approach that allows us to identify more than ‘the usual suspects’ as candidates for consideration.
Our values reinforce the attention we afford to diversity. We ensure our process and outputs provide our clients with an opportunity to deliberate over the broadest possible options to bolster their board.
Our services comprise three main offerings:
Board Appointments
Board Evaluations

Board Evaluations
We are strong believers in the importance of board performance management, and offer an approach to board evaluation that centres on quality conversations with directors and stakeholders of the board. This allows a deep exploration into the background and context of feedback, enabling us to examine what is not being said, as well as what is.
We offer a strategic yet practical review, aiming to arrive at a small number of achievable and high-impact actions for the board to implement. We also advocate for boards to consider incorporating individual director contributions into the board review. We are skilled at collating and sharing insights on a confidential basis, as well as supporting directors and Chairs in future development.
Board and Director Development
In conjunction with our Leadership Solutions Practice, we work with boards and directors to enhance performance:
We have curated and facilitated bespoke learning sessions for boards to access international thought leadership;
We have conducted joint board and executive team workshops to improve the working relationship;
We have supported individual directors to identify and build on their strengths and contributions.
