How We Help Boards & Trusts
Every board has its own unique history, make-up, purpose and culture. It also has its own unique challenges! At BoardClarity we value the differences and have the knowledge and experience to help you tackle the challenges. Tell us about your unique situation and we will put together a customised package of services that will accelerate your journey towards excellence.
Since 2001 we have provided over 100 boards and trusts with the knowledge, tools and skills needed to:
- – Truly make a real difference
- – Fulfil ‘duty of care’ responsibilities
- – Attract and retain high calibre members
- – Function more democratically
Board Appointments
A board is a team and in order for it to function well it must have the right mix of skills and perspectives. Getting clear on these requirements is crucial before any decisions about who to appoint. BoardClarity can help confirm what blend of competencies, personality and any special talents you require from your next new board member and if required, complete the appointment process on your behalf (and if applicable advise on remuneration.)
Board Training & Coaching
Board members are often selected because of their management skills or specialist knowledge but this does not necessary mean they know how to govern effectively. At BoardClarity we provide public and in-house training workshops and mentoring designed to teach aspiring board members, partial boards, whole boards, board funders and board advisors about best practice governance.

Board Strategy
Does your board’s strategy align with its purpose? If it doesn’t then your organisation may be achieving the wrong outcomes! BoardClarity can help you determine if you are on track and what, if any, alterations need to be made. If you don’t have a clear strategy we can help you develop one that aligns with the organisation’s purpose.
Any high performing team requires external input and boards are no different. BoardClarity is able to work with your board to identify which external views would be most helpful and source them as required. For example
Organisational Development
Organisation and board structures often develop over time as the maturity of the organisation changes. What might have worked in one situation often becomes unnecessarily complex or lacks effect accountability in another. BoardClarity can work with you to establish if your current governance structure is achieving the best outcomes for your moral and legal owners.
Not Quite What You Are After?
We realise every need does not fit neatly into a predefined box. We undertake all sorts of other interesting assignments such as board monitoring, observation and evaluation and restructuring. Please contact us to discuss your unique requirements.
