The Chair & Board

​

 

  • William Stanley Consult appreciate that boards have a responsibility for the sustainability and prosperity of the organisations they serve, and that they need to discharge vision as well as governance

​

  • William Stanley Consult acknowledge the importance of balancing the board's need to be independent, without it becoming too distant from the executive, staff, investors, stakeholders and relevant government agencies

​

  • Board composition is to be discerned dependant on the context of the business cycle and organisational structure

​

  • Creative board configuration and evolving composition is encouraged, with diversity and broad functional experience, to include but not be limited to; strategy, finance, risk and ethics

​

  • William Stanley Consult recognise individual board member talent is vital, and that forming a cohesive body is too, with clear delineation of briefs and defined expectations for each board member

​

  • High functioning boards require foresight in Chair rotation and member succession, along with regular reviews to ensure a fit for purpose standing

​

  • William Stanley Consult notes an inextricable causal link between board evolution and organisational evolution, and have found the preeminent boards deliver consistent oversight and value
