Boards, Directors and Executive Teams

CfOD provides specialist training, planning, facilitation and consultancy support to boards of directors and executive teams.

Board of Directors

In our experience, the more dynamic and capable a group of people is, the more difficult it may be to achieve alignment and agreement. Boards of directors are often laden with raw talent, but hamstrung by poor working relationships and underdeveloped systems and processes.

Our experience in high-level facilitation can assist in resolving these types of issues, and removing obstacles to real achievement at the highest levels of an organisation.

Our services to boards of directors include:

• Strategic planning, including articulating a clear vision and mission and documenting achievable strategies for successful organisational growth
• Developing board policies and protocols
• Innovation and strategic thinking workshops
• Managing risk in turbulent and complex environments
• Improving relationships within the board and with the CEO
• Clearly defining roles and responsibilities through effectively managing boundaries
• New board member induction processes
• Interventions for boards experiencing conflict or dysfunction
• Assessing board performance.

Executive Team Development

Our team of experienced senior facilitators will work with your executive team to create alignment of purpose and improve communication. This allows you to focus on the critical task of leading your organisation.

Executive Management Team Planning Conferences

Strategic planning is arguably one of the most important roles of the Executive Management Team.

Many organisations understand the significance of goal setting and measurement through Key Performance Indicators, but neglect the process of the planning itself. This can result in management conferences that are disjointed, lengthy, unproductive and boring! We can provide your team with a professional management planning process by using leading edge, interactive and outcome-focused facilitation methods.

Our expert, senior facilitators will help you:

• Revisit your vision, mission and values
• Revise the strategic plan
• Regenerate solutions to current obstacles
• Realign the team
• Refresh commitment and enthusiasm
• Refocus on strategic outcomes.

We can also provide:

• Pre-conference activities
• Conference materials
• Suitable venue choices
• Quality speakers
• Fun social events
• Great food
• Conference follow-up
