An effective Board and good governance are areas in which many private and smaller ASX listed companies struggle. Yet these are essential to long term success, access to capital and growth and the realisation of value. Boards able to demonstrate proven and effective governance leading to sustained growth add substantially to the value of a business.
Linton Howard specialises in good governance practices, including setting up an Advisory Board or reviewing Board structure and effectiveness, Board charters, policies, authorities and other documents, including the effective running of Board meetings. Linton Howard believes effective Boards operate within the four areas of accountability (past performance), compliance, policy and strategy. Working in conjunction with specialists from Governance Matters, Linton Howard can provide experienced Non-Executive Directors/Chairmen who will add experience, objectivity, strategic insight and accountability that will create real value for any business.
Linton Howard can be engaged for governance and Board work on a retainer for a set number of meetings per annum, either in a formal capacity as Director/Chairman or as adviser to the business on a daily rate.
