Our purpose is to Advance the Practice of Directorship. Thoughtpost Governance is a specialist in board performance advice for private companies, government entities and medium to large not-for-profit organisations that can help transform a board into an agile and high-performing team by working with the board to develop board leadership and corporate governance strategies that deliver the specific goals of the organisation. Thoughtpost Governance see Boards as a business unit in themselves, requiring clarity of purpose and role, a skilled, resourced and well-functioning team, appropriate behaviours, a strong performance management system and a culture of continuous improvement. We advance the practice of directorship, by identifying and developing the skills, behaviours and systems that increase company value. At Thoughtpost Governance we embody the same core values that are at the heart of effective board leadership including: Discretion – maintaining levels of trust that enable full disclosure and rigorous debate. Diplomacy – behaving with emotional intelligence and respect towards peers and extended leadership partnership. Openness – we invite challenges to thinking and see healthy disagreement as a trigger for growth. Graciousness – we behave with courtesy and kindness and encourage self-aware behaviour in directorship practice.
