A major driver of governance systems is the regulatory, legal and ownership environment in which a family company operates. Through our extensive experience, we understand the challenges and the opportunities your environment presents, particularly the importance of separating family matters from business matters.
At Effective Governance we assist you to create a sustainable organisation for the next generation through value adding governance activities.
What we can do for you

- The review of the CEO/MD can be a challenging process and discussion, reflecting upon expectations is a healthy and robust process that will improve the relationship of the board and the CEO/Managing Director.
