Is board advisory the same as recruiting a director?

No. Advisory is about the board’s work: performance, planning, conflict, effectiveness and succession thinking. Recruitment is board search. Some clients use both, in that order. Many only need the first.

Do we need a full board review?

Not always. Some boards need a focused conversation on one issue — a Chair transition, a committee, a founder’s role, a strategy day. Others want a broader look at how the board is working. The scope is set with you, not from a template.

Who do you work with — the Chair, the whole board, or the owners?

Whoever holds the problem. Often that is the Chair. Sometimes it is the owners or a lead investor. Sometimes it is the board as a group. The conversation stays confidential and is led by Kylie Hammond.

Will this automatically become a board search?

Only if you decide it should. Advisory can conclude that the current board is the right one, that an advisory board is enough, or that a search is the next step. Search is a separate engagement.
