Some boards are moving through uncharted territory and are aware that a misstep could be disastrous. Some organizations’ progress is held hostage by difficult dynamics between the board and CEO or certain board members. Some board directors get involved in operations and muddy the waters of accountability.
What is the role of the board in these situations?
Whether it’s to emerge from conflict or simply work on areas that need growth, OrgHealth approaches governance in a way that creates clarity and sets organizational health at the forefront.
Usually, the current challenges stem from cracks in the foundation. The Imperfect Board Member by Jim Brown has been a best-selling governance fable since its release in 2006, and introduces foundational concepts that boards across North America have embraced as essential training.
Our consultants springboard from the book but customize the focus of the session to your board with relevant actions steps for exactly where you're at. This is not just work for “board member beginners”—as every world-class athlete knows, becoming incredible at the “basic” moves is the finesse that makes the difference between good and great.
It’s impossible for an organization to grow much further than its board. That’s why we are so passionate about helping you break through obstacles and norms that are keeping your board from being its best.
