Board services is about getting outside council for your board and is a tremendous asset for your business plan. An outside perspective can shed light on underlying issues, communication struggles, and provide solutions and strategy to have a productive and aligned board. At Haskel Thompson & Associates we help clients improve the effectiveness of the board of directors through counseling, capability building, and developing new insights.
It is simple, an effective board of directors has a better understanding of where their company creates value, the potential risks, and their strategy.
When an effective board is in play, they can better evaluate resource allocation, embrace robust feedback, and debate alternative strategies. They also assess trends and uncertainties and discuss where value will be created with the CEO. Unengaged boards, on the other hand, can destroy value by focusing exclusively on fiduciary activities or overemphasizing short-term financial results.
Board Services can help clients improve the collaboration between management and the board. A good example would be strategizing CEO succession plans or facilitating communication for long term company growth.
