scHammond Advisors are experts in advisory boards. We guide business and nonprofits through the process of establishing an advisory board and gaining full access to the many benefits that come from receiving advice and support from knowledgeable people who are invested in your success.
An advisory board can:
- Give you access to expertise you don’t have in-house.
- Serve as your advocate and make important connections for you.
- Increase your accountability for moving toward your goals.
- Help you think more deeply about important issues.
- Lead to better strategic decision making.
- Augment your staff and eliminate the need to hire pricey consultants.
An advisory board is an economical, effective alternative to costly peer groups or CEO forums. With an advisory board, 100% of the advisors’ time is focused on helping you and your organization. You are held more accountable by an advisory board than with other groups, providing you with important motivation to keep to an action plan. And by having an advisory board with the same people who meet regularly, you gain more synergy than when working with individual consultants.
If you have a board of directors or trustees, we can also help you address board governance issues through board education, coaching for board chairs, and advising on executive director/board relationships. We also provide benchmarks for how effective boards look and act and teach you how to structure board roles and activity for maximum impact.
