Corporate Governance: The True Value for Entrepreneurs

Corporate Governance Assessment

We review corporate governance structures and advise on how to strengthen them.

To create the effective corporate governance framework that you need to attract outside investment, build a sustainable growth model and structure your business for future expansion, it’s vital to understand where your current strengths and weaknesses lie.

MEIoD uses the industry-standard IFC Corporate Governance Methodology to conduct a comprehensive assessment, resulting in a step-by-step improvement plan which outlines exactly where you need to make changes in order to maximize the credibility of your business among potential investors, financiers, or partners.

Corporate Governance Reporting

We take the strain out of compiling and structuring corporate governance reports.

Many entrepreneurs have neither the available time nor expertise needed to compile a corporate governance report at a professional level.

MEIoD can help, by taking on the task of gathering the relevant information on corporate governance within your organization, collating and structuring it, and presenting it as a full report in line with international best practice. The resulting report will provide a comprehensive and credible picture of your business, which can be confidently presented to potential investors and other stakeholders.

Director Nomination

We work with organizations to nominate qualified directors with relevant experience.

For many founders, locating, appointing, and structuring their first board can be a challenge. Choosing board members based on existing friendships or business relationships is not always advisable, as it has the potential to introduce bias or conflict. Appointments should be made based on merit and expertise.  

MEIoD can assist by leveraging our extensive network of qualified directors to recruit directors who have the specific backgrounds and skillsets needed to enhance and improve the corporate governance function of your business, drive strategy, assess risks, exploit opportunities, and maximize growth and success.

Advisory Board Setup

We set up and run advisory boards on behalf of entrepreneurs and founders.

In our experience, owners whose businesses do not yet have a board of directors can nevertheless benefit from advice and guidance from subject matter experts in the form of an advisory board. 

MEIoD offers an end-to-end service whereby we handle the creation, implementation, and successful running of your advisory board. We'll assess your specific requirements, identify potential expert advisors, shortlist candidates and handle the recruitment and onboarding process. 

Once your board is up and running, we'll schedule meetings, prepare agendas, record and document minutes and follow up on action items to ensure decisions are implemented.

Board Evaluation

We facilitate detailed and productive evaluations of board performance.

Board performance evaluations deliver a range of benefits, including improvements in accountability, decision making, teamwork, division of responsibility, and risk assessment. However, many entrepreneurs may not have experience in assessing the various functions of a board.

MEIoD offers an impartial and objective-focused board evaluation service, including an assessment of the board’s role in terms of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations, which is increasingly recognized as an important factor in any evaluation. 

This gives you the information you need to make strategic decisions about your board structure.

1-to-1 Coaching for Board Members

We offer guidance and support to help board members excel in their appointed role.

Both first-time and experienced board members benefit significantly from continued guidance in how best to deal with the responsibilities and challenges they encounter, particularly where the businesses they represent are transitioning towards more effective governance structures.

Benefits of the program include enhanced coping mechanisms which help to deal with high-pressure situations, training in active listening and critical thinking, removal of bias in the decision-making process, and improved working relationships with fellow board members and company executives.
