Why a Mentor?
Whether you are a leader trying to manage the complexities of an ever-changing business landscape, an employee in a business trying to manage your career or an entrepreneur building your own dream, doing it on your own can be tough. Having someone to provide counsel, help identify, clarify and resolve issues or just provide a sounding board to bounce concerns and ideas around in, can be of immense assistance.
You may be wondering how to implement a new initiative consistently across a range of varied markets, how to balance work and personal issues or how to elevate your personal profile at work.
You may feel weighted down by the complexities of different products, markets and agendas or have a wonderful business idea but not the experience of turning it into a reality by creating a plan, and managing the multiplicity of factors that need to come together to elevate your success.
How do we help?
Working with an elev8 advisory mentor can provide an individual with a framework and process to clarify goals and develop practical solutions which can be implemented in a methodical way. As each individual's needs are different, so are the tools we use to assist you - but always with the aim to enhancing your performance and outcomes.
Mentoring arrangements can be made individually or as part of a corporate HR program.
Why Effective Governance?
Board of Directors today are expected to oversee many different aspects of business: a wider range of stakeholders, broader areas of risk, faster moving strategy development, developing technology platforms, more diverse cultures and values, changing regulatory requirements and dynamic expectations around sustainability, to name a few. The stakes are high and boards and directors are increasingly held accountable, whether for a business or a social enterprise.
Boards of directors also need to ensure their governance processes are robust, thorough and dynamic to meet the changing nature of the business, its challenges and risks, and the external environment it operates within.
Amongst all these demands, how often does your board take time out to reflect on its own performance? Does your board run like a well-oiled machine, with all the directors making valuable contributions? Are the values and culture of the company reflected in the board's own conduct? Are board members confident to challenge the prevailing “mometum” for a decision where they have concerns? Is there an unspoken dynamic occurring that may be impeding optimal performance?
How do we help?
Undertaking an elev8 advisory board review allows directors to reflect on their contributions and opportunities for improvement in order to elevate the board's performance. A board review provides directors and the chairman with analysis and feedback in relation to overall governance performance, taking into account a broad range of stakeholders, with a view to optimising effectiveness.
