The Situation

A Board of a multi-entity organisation was operating with strong individual capability but limited collective alignment, impacting decision quality and strategic momentum.

I was engaged by the Chair following a recommendation from a NED who had experienced my work in another board setting.

The Task

The Chair sought my support to strengthen the Board’s collective leadership, improving how it operated as a unit and how effectively it supported the executive team.

The Action / Approach

I used a Collective Leadership Assessment to surface patterns in behaviour, decision-making, and group dynamics, creating a shared, evidence-based view of effectiveness.

We worked through facilitated sessions to reshape boardroom behaviours, clarify roles, and embed more effective ways of engaging, challenging, and aligning.

The Result

Within a year, Board effectiveness scores increased by 29%, decision-making cycle times reduced by 23%, and strategic initiatives progressed with greater clarity and pace.

“This was the first time we truly saw ourselves as a Board. The shift in how we work together has been transformative.”
