Board and Governance Services
Predictable Futures designs and builds boards for private companies that want to create an effective governance mechanism to provide oversight and foresight for the company. We are experts in board assembly, and have built boards for dozens of companies to help guide the firm strategically, add expertise and wisdom to the governance process, and create the structure and regular process to ensure things stay on track. This can be especially helpful when the next generation (or professional management) steps into leadership, and when the founder wants to keep an eye on things but not be as immersed in the day-to-day operations.
We also get called in when owners feel the board they have is not functioning well, or having the impact it should have. Our accredited governance skillset, combined with years of board experience, allows us to quickly create clarity on how to improve board function and get the traction everyone wants.
Creating a Board
Creating a board sounds simple. However, careful design is critical to building an effective board and process – especially when it is a start-up board. Our years of experience help owners navigate the pitfalls of board assembly, and get a faster and stronger start. We do all the heavy lifting, since this is our expertise, and help owners avoid the mistakes that come with “Do it yourself” approaches (which often start with bringing on someone they know: friends, family, their professional advisors, and so on). This not only saves time, money and resources – it generates a more effective board process from day 1!
Board Improvement/Effectiveness
Some companies with an existing board reach a point where they feel their board process needs to be rejuvenated and reset as a high performing board. Like any other function in a company, the board needs to continually stretch and sharpen how it operates in order to provide the best value to the company for the time and expense invested in governance. Predictable Futures uses a board improvement process to evaluate existing board performance, and determine the best way to leverage the board process and create the most impact at the board level. We look at every aspect of the board, and provide perspective on what is working well, what can be improved, and a clear path forward in re-energizing your board process.
