Transforming Boards to Perform Better
Strengthening Board Governance Through Tailored Training & Development
Our Approach
- Listening Phase: We begin by understanding how your board sees itself, its aspirations, objectives, and timelines.
- Objective Review: Next, we conduct a personalised objective review, delving into your boards current state through tailored questionnaires, one-on-one discussions, and by engaging with stakeholders.
- Defining Aspirations: Our experts then facilitate a discussion to define where the Board wants to be, within a given timeframe, and its expected outcomes of this transformation.
- Filling the Gap: The last step is to develop and implement a structured process, that is unique to your board, bridging the gap between its current and desired state. The whole process is driven by your boards' desire for change within the defined timeline.
“Genius Boards work with you, alongside you and your day job, to make you a top performing Board.”
