I am passionate about helping boards increase their performance and effectiveness. I have helped more than 250 board over the last decade including boards of organisations as diverse as Afrasia bank, Aruma, Brown Brothers Wines, Dental Health Services Victoria, Dexus, FSD Uganda, Gateway Bank, GrainCorp, Green Collect, HESTA, Macquarie University Hospital, NAB, Payton Capital, Oz Minerals, Red Hill Football Netball Club, Redbubble, Suburban Land Agency, Telstra Super, Theta Edge Berhad, Tintern Grammar and World Vision. Our organisation has helped more than 500 boards.At Board Benchmarking, Board Surveys and Insync we are supporting a growing global community of directors, board advisors and industry associations to improve board performance and effectiveness because we all believe Better Boards means Better Organisations. Our support includes sharing an ongoing stream of insights, making our four world class, validated, benchmarked Board Effectiveness Surveys available at very affordable prices and backed by a global Board Advisory Network.I have written three books on leadership, culture, engagement and transformational change. My third book titled, Why Purpose Matters: and how it can transform your organisation, was co-authored with Dr Rodney Howard.One last thing. I had a 78 off the stick at The Old Course at St Andrews on 3 July, 2014! That was 6 under my then handicap.
