Corporate governance

Are you and your fellow directors as effective as you should be?

Good corporate governance requires that the performance of the board is evaluated at least once a year. The evaluation process is a constructive mechanism for improving board effectiveness, maximising strengths and tackling weaknesses.

The global economy is going through a difficult period. At times of such challenge, it is even more critical than normal that boards of directors can plan effectively and take tough and strategic decisions – this requires proper board governance procedures in place, with all directors fully understanding their role and having the special skills that directors need.

The application of simple standards at board level can radically improve performance

A quick and simple audit against established standards for directors and board processes (followed by appropriate action!), can lead to an immediate improvement of performance throughout the organisation.

That's where we come in. We can apply a knowledgeable, professional and independent overview and identify quickly, the vital areas that need to be addressed.

The Brefi Group helps individuals and teams in organisations – just like your own – discover and realise their potential. We provide you with the right tools, attitudes and processes to continually improve in the future, without having to stay dependent on external expertise.

Once we are involved, our clients find in most cases, change occurs naturally.

The Brefi Group has over 25 years experience at the very highest level and all our associates have exceptional credentials, with senior corporate experience – MBA or equivalent, and trained in the psychology of change.

Our integrated package of strategy consulting, executive coaching, facilitation and training includes processes specifically designed for directors and boards:

• Audits of board processes against external benchmarks
• Audits of director skills against external benchmarks
• Psychometric profiling and 360° feedback to discover strengths and development needs of individual directors and managers
• Facilitation of corporate retreats for both strategy and budget planning
• Executive coaching and appraisals of executive and non-executive directors to improve individual and group performance

These processes will enable you and your board to significantly raise your game, increase your professionalism and improve corporate performance.

Our approach is to help clarify issues through a process of discovery, engagement and dialogue, enabling you and your colleagues to discover your own answers and implement your own proposals.

Evaluation of the performance of your board is a process for improving board effectiveness, maximising strengths and tackling weaknesses. Good governance requires that you are able to report on the effectiveness of your board, as well as appraisal of non-executives.
