Board Connexions offers a highly professional and confidential service to help Boards, Senior Executives and Directors facing challenges with governance, leadership and strategy. Board Connexions is different because it is evidence based, provides value for money and uses the expertise of a highly qualified practising Director with a wealth of experience.
We provide a wide range of services in the specialist areas of Governance, Leadership and Strategy. We focus on helping Board Directors and Senior Executives find their way through the maze of governance, leadership and strategy issues.
We work with Senior Executives, Directors and Board Members on their governance journey by equipping them with the frameworks to ensure their relationships, systems and processes are leading edge. Governance, leadership and strategy are all elements of this journey.
The cornerstone of any organisation is its people and their relationships. Boards are no different and need to be made up of the right people, with the right technical skills and strategic leadership qualities to ensure optimal alignment with the organisation’s strategic direction.
Strategy is about determining the right direction for an organisation and how to lead the organisation in that direction. The correct strategy becomes the dynamic road map for success. Board Connexions uses collaborative stakeholder models to help organisations determine their strategic direction
I have worked with Lianne under a number of circumstances, as coach, facilitator, mentor and advisor for some time. Lianne is a strategic thinker and a leader in her field, plus she is a delight to work with. She is insightful, creative and thought provoking and has brought a great deal of knowledge and understanding to my business and to me personally.
During a Board review we had identified a need for Board Governance training and engaged Lianne for a one day governance training programme. Lianne structured a very effective programme around our specific needs. Her knowledge on the topic, breadth of experience, facilitation skills and personality in effectively working with a diverse group of Directors, resulted in all attendees rating the programme as extremely beneficial, even Directors with relevant governance experience. It met our needs and lifted subsequent Board performance.
I approached Lianne to assist me with mentoring at an executive level and found the experience to be extremely rewarding, valuable for career building. I would highly recommend this professional and supportive service.
I also engaged Lianne to facilitate extensive board strategic planning sessions, which I would highly recommend to businesses and organisations who want to focus on both governance as well as out-of-the-box thinking.
