Build an advisory board with the experts in private company governance
Our Advisory Board Launch Kit™ will get you to the starting line in 60 days.
Our practical, step-by-step Launch Kit will help you build and maintain an advisory board focused on constructive challenge, support, growth and performance.
Through the Canada’s Best Private Boards program we have seen the performance-driving value of advisory boards, for small, mid-market and large private companies alike. Freed from fiduciary requirements, advisory boards - while still exceptionally strategic - can be set up in a quicker way.
Step 1
We’ll talk Big Picture and establish your board’s “Why”.
Through two planning sessions, we’ll establish your vision for your advisory board, align it with strategy, discuss board composition, outline stages of growth and review key governance principles for advisory boards.
Step 2
We’ll arm you with the tools relevant to advisory boards.
From sample independent director agreements, to NDAs, meeting agendas and timeline to launch, we’ll arm you with the tools relevant to advisory boards and specific to your needs. This includes building a compensation framework, based on data from our Canada’s Best Private Boards program.
Step 3
We’ll establish your strategy for attracting best-fit board talent.
Working with you, we’ll build a list of potential board candidates aligned with your strategy, create the profile, develop the communications, outreach and onboarding strategy and present you with options for a full execution of a director search.
Step 4
We’ll help you manage the process moving forward.
From confirming the board calendar to creating and sending out board packages, we’ll help you manage your advisory board commitments to ensure organised, impactful and confidential meetings.
