BCL92 How Do You Get a Non Executive Director
Take it to the next stage of devel­op­ment.
How do you get a Non Executive Director? Growing companies reach a point where a non-executive director would add value through challenge and advice; and potentially in a specialised area such as finance, marketing etc. That is, companies seek wider strategic skills to consoli­date the business and take it to the next stage of devel­op­ment.
As a small or medium sized company how would you benefit from the experience of a non-exec director? Having an independent voice on the board directly improves decision making, and generally ‘raises our game’. A director with a non-exec position develops governance skills that equally benefit their own company.
On this edition of Business Connections Live we talk to Martin Hawley, the founder of Boardcircle whihc helps small and medium sized companies to experience a non-exec director by sharing some of the director time as non-execs with each other.
