Having a great board of advisors is a powerful asset for any organisation to get objective advice, identify unexplored opportunities, open new doors and increase profitability and sustainability.

• The importance of governance in organisations
• How to setup an advisory board
• Choosing the right people for the board
• Setting objectives, expectations and compensation
• Planning for Meetings
