Board Governance

Is your board stifled by an ‘it’s always been done this way’ philosophy?
Are you finding it difficult to meet quorum, energize committees, or recruit new members?
Are board members unclear of their roles?
Are your board meetings more show than strategic substance?
Is your board unified in its strategic direction?
