We are here to help! Whether you are reviewing your Board’s effectiveness, your governance structure, or your organization’s strategy, the risks and how to manage them. We provide you with an unbiased assessment of your governance and the Board’s performance to help you achieve your mission and objectives as effectively as possible.  

Our approach will be based on your mission and long-term goals, considering your values, the opportunities and risks presented by outside factors, as well as your mission and values. 

Governance Review

Our approach will provide you with a thorough assessment of your governance practice, its strengths, and our growth recommendations. We make it possible for you to demonstrate how effectively you are implementing your respective Code of governance, the requirements, and expectations of the regulators, as well as your company goal and sustaining good governance.  

Our recommendations are designed to be constructive, practical, and forward-thinking so that you can establish a continually enhanced approach, create succession plans, ensure that Boards are well-supported in their work, and evaluate how effectively your governance framework and procedures serve their intended purposes. 

Review Against Your Code Of Governance

We can assess your processes and ensure that you are complying with the NHF Code of Governance in 2020, or we can provide you with constructive advice on how to do so. With the new format comes the requirement of conducting the annual assessment following the updated code; guidance may be helpful, particularly in areas that are new or have a greater emphasis. 

To help you continuously improve your governance practices, our recommendations are meant to be functional and useful while also considering the requirements of the code. 

Board Review

Our Board review assists you in ensuring that you follow the rules established by the Regulator for Social Housing and your Code of governance. Best practices recommend conducting board reviews with the assistance of an independent body at least every three years to ensure that the performance of the board is evaluated both collectively and individually as part of good governance. 

Our evaluation outlines a plan for improving the Board’s performance and effectiveness, gives executives assurance that the Board can carry out its duties, and helps in developing a procedure for successful Board meetings and a successful decision-making process. 

You will gain improved board teamwork, a collaborative working relationship with the executive and with internal and external stakeholders, as well as the foundation for better succession planning and board recruitment. 

Succession Planning for Boards

Our succession planning support enables you to enhance governance, bridge talent shortages on your Board, and boost the Board’s overall effectiveness whether you use it in combination with our Board review or separately.
