Governance Advisory

Governance Advisory

We know what’s keeping you up at night and we can help  

Good governance delivers on the promise of the business.

Our Executive Board service offers board structure, business security, stakeholder confidence and adversity resilience for the risk-averse.  

Good governance structure is about legal compliance, mitigating risk and bringing outside expertise to the table for growth, PR and high-level business structure. 

Do you feel like you are constantly putting out fires with the banks, legal claims, staffing issues and workplace incidents?

Don’t wait until your brand, reputation and finances are at critical risk to take action.

Small problems are like small fires.

Leaving a smaller problem unattended because you are too burned out to deal with it may seem like a good strategy at the time.

If you have to choose which fires to put out because you are too burned out to deal with all of them will put your business at risk.

Will you have the strength and capability to put out big fires when they suddenly double in size?

Good governance is more than just having a few structures in place.

It is leadership capability with accountability at stakeholder level that will protect your business before issues arise.

Let’s help you tackle the blurred lines.

Too many people try to bring governance structure and operational expertise to the same table.

Time, energy and skills are spread too thin and before you know it cracks start to appear.

Maybe it starts as a small cash flow issue, or it could be a PR headache, but they quickly open the doors to bigger governance problems like ERA and Worksafe claims, contractual law issues and more.

Insurance can fix some of the problems but how will you attract new talent when your reputation is shattered?

Reactive problem-solving is part of the day-to-day life of many businesses, but it doesn’t have to be.

No matter what your business is dealing with, we have seen it before and we can give you the peace of mind you need.

Success Story

What one of our many clients says about working with us

LinkedIn Live – Episode 7

In this episode Founder of The Engine, Catherine Cooke, interviews Cora and Chris Lawton, Directors of Steelpac, on the importance of Director Responsibilities and Transition for Next Generation Leadership. Catherine is also joined by Andrew Skinner from Urlich Milne Lawyers who offers his advice on the topic from a legal perspective. 

 

“Catherine has been an asset to our family business. We were struggling with governance and structure and she has helped us to implement this in our company. Our employees are now driven to achieving and our customers are even more satisfied with the products and services we provide them.

Burnout is real – Hire an Interim CEO so you can take a break.

Burnout is real – Hire an Interim CEO so you can take a break.

Dear CEO/Business Owner, when did you last take a break, an uninterrupted break?

Do you dream about having a few days off but wonder how your business will be able to run without you there?

Do you worry about what will happen to your business in case of a medical event or family emergency? Not having the capacity to step away from your business puts everything you are working for at risk.

Burning the candle at both ends keeps things going on the surface, but is not a sustainable growth strategy. It won’t be long before overwhelm turns to burnout and the state of your personal well-being leaves your business critically vulnerable.

Perhaps you want to step back and start working a 4-day week or work on a personal project.

Maybe you just need to share the heavy lifting with an experienced pair of hands that isn’t too close to your business and can keep things moving forward when you need a break.

The plugin CEO service from The Engine offers you just that, and more.
