Description

Use this proven nine step process to help your best clients set up their Advisory Board

Supporting your clients to set up an Advisory Board is an exciting new opportunity for professional services companies. It is the first step in expanding your service portfolio, generating recurring revenue and adding more value to your clients.

Advisory Boards are an increasingly popular form of governance for kiwi businesses right now. In today’s unprecedented business environment Advisory Boards are instrumental in helping businesses respond to the new challenges, risks and opportunities. Help your business owners adapt their businesses, improve their decision-making capabilities, increase accountability and access the skills and expertise to ensure their business survive and thrive in these challenging times.

While Advisory Boards are a crucial success factor underpinning many New Zealand’s businesses right now, both large and small, however most are set up with little thought and planning. Some have a very short shelf life, and others fail to live up to the expectations of the business owner, or never actually get off the ground at all.

Setting up an Advisory Board intentionally from the start is one of the most crucial factors in making sure an Advisory Board works. As an advisor you need a simple, proven process to get your Advisory Boards started and performing well. This 9 step process has been used successfully to help set up over 100 Advisory Boards as well as improve the performance of many existing Advisory Boards.
Applying these steps will help you develop more strategic relationships with your clients and help you differentiate yourselves from your competition. Advisory Boards are also popular as an initial step on the pathway to governance for many NZ business people.

Join us for this practical webinar delivered by Helen Down, Director of Advisory Boards New Zealand. Helen will also share several real life stories of Advisory Boards in NZ businesses and how they are getting the great results.

You will also receive a practical workbook with excellent reference material, checklists and templates that you can use with your clients, and in all your Advisory Board meetings.

This popular webinar is ideal for professional services people and business owners who understand the opportunity of Advisory Boards and need to know where to start. If you are looking for a structured and innovative way to give your clients a competitive edge and your own business a real point of difference then this webinar is for you.
