Strategy & Board Dynamics

Board Dynamics

There is a substantial difference between a co-operative board of directors, who will be generally in consensus on issues and prepared to sublimate personal values for ‘the greater good’ and a cohesive board, where concepts and ideas will be fully argued out, challenged, deconstructed and rebuilt as strong and robust strategy.

We believe that a board needs a strong mix of not just experience and skills, but contrasting thinking styles. From creativity, to analysis to operationalising initiatives, if there is a missing link, failure will be ensured. Moore Stephens Nathans can help in mediating conflict issues with existing board members, help to bring cohesion through our board development programmes and even provide coaching to individual board members. Should changes be required we can advise on the best exit and entry strategies for outgoing and incoming board members, helping with selecting not just the right skills and experience, but also the right mix of thinking styles.

Strategy Development

The ability to take a distanced and objective look at your business from a strategic standpoint, is often next to impossible when faced with the sheer volume and urgency of the operational management demands. Yet failing to plan leads to missed opportunities, creates uncertainty within the board and management teams about clear priorities and provides room for individual initiatives that may not always meet the organisations needs.

Moore Stephens Nathans has substantial experience in a wide variety of industries, and specialist team members in strategy development. We can provide objectivity, stimulate thinking, deepen analysis, referee debate and help determine the key achievable objectives. Importantly we can then help drill these down into strategic initiatives that your operational management teams can deliver on the ground, with associated KPI’s hitting your dashboard.
