Board Excellence

On behalf of the Board Excellence team, I am delighted to welcome Steve Masters to our team. Steve has a wealth of experience supporting boards and executive teams in the corporate, listed and PE/VC sectors. Board Excellence has experienced incredible year-on-year growth in the UK market. Under Paul George's leadership, Board Excellence has built a strong reputation in the UK for high-quality comprehensive board evaluations that add significant value. We set the bar high for boards and directors, supporting them build a great partnership with their executive team, enabling them to get the best out of each other and excel for their shareholders, employees and stakeholders. We also provide extensive board/director training and board/governance advisory services to companies and organisations across the UK.

Board Excellence are delighted to announce an upcoming Board Effectiveness 1-hour webinar in collaboration with our partner Impact Boards EM. This is our first in an exciting series of collaborations planned to support board directors excel in their roles. 📅 The webinar will be held on 10 June 2024 at 15:00 UK time. In the webinar, I will be focusing on three important areas that boards across the world find challenging; Strategy and business model agility - examining how boards and executive teams have improved their collaboration on strategy and the importance of an agile approach in the face of volatile and rapidly changing customer and competitor landscapes. New approaches to board composition and refreshing the board - many boards struggle with gaps in critical skillsets needed and the importance of both refreshing the board and replacing board directors who are not contributing Grasping the nettle of CEO succession planning - this is one of the most challenging area for boards and I will be providing practical guidance on proven approaches to addressing this and the pitfalls to avoid. I will be outlining proven practices, underpinned by case studies and we will have an interactive Q&A session on each topic. 👉 Delighted if you could join us for this complimentary workshop which aims to support #boarddirectors #buildingbetterboards. Please RSVP on the Impact Boards EM website: https://lnkd.in/di4Wguny

The Board Excellence team are great believers in the power of Board Performance Reviews as a basis of supporting Boards to continuously improve and for helping individual Directors understand how Boardroom practice is evolving and how others are tackling common challenges. Board Performance Reviews underpin the trust that shareholders and stakeholders assign to Boards and help Boards and Directors excel on their behalf. Board Performance Reviewers need to be independent, willing to challenge and follow a thorough and robust process. With that in mind, we are delighted both to reconfirm our commitment to following the The Chartered Governance Institute UK & Ireland (CGI) Guide to Board Performance Reviews and to announce that we have been awarded CGI accreditation for our Board review services. Accreditation will provide further trust in the quality of our work as we continue to develop our rapidly expanding UK, Irish and International business. We are passionate about delivering high-quality Board Performance Reviews that play a critical role in helping Boards understand their current level of effectiveness, governance and performance, how they compare to the best comparable peer boards and the practical steps needed to drive sustained improvement in the Board’s effectiveness, governance, performance and value-add.
