Board Excellence Reviews

Performance depends on maximising potential and recognising interferences. We enable and empower boards to recognise where they are already strong and what aspects to prioritise to elevate their performance.

A Board Effectiveness Review offers an independent analysis of a board’s ability to perform its duties well and in compliance of its obligations. 

An evaluation of risks and opportunities are conducted and priority areas for practical action are identified. The performance of the team and individual directions are looked upon and the review can include:

• Desktop analysis which includes an expert review of agendas, minutes, structure, governance, and skills gaps
  
• One to one interviews with each member of the board and, where appropriate, the Corporate Governance Support Team
  
• Diagnostics such as 360 feedback and strengths profiling e.g. MBTI/DiSC
  
• Observation of Board and Committee meetings

MEDIATION / CONFLICT RESOLUTION

Disputes are unfortunately a common occurrence in our business lives but the crucial thing is to make sure that they are dealt with constructively and proactively so that solutions are found without having to resort to expensive court proceedings.

Mediation can often offer the right conditions to be able to resolve a dispute by parties coming up with their own solutions to a problem with the assistance of an independent and experienced mediator who will guide them through that process.

Having that commercial focus and creativity is crucial and these are the attributes of our Mediator, Dr Nerys Llewelyn Jones who is both an ADR Accredited Mediator and CDER Member.

Nerys has acted as Mediator in countless mediations across England and Wales on a variety of commercial, property and business matters. She utilises a pragmatic and common sense approach and encourages parties to do the same.
