"An advisory board is your gateway to innovative ideas and effective project execution — providing governance with the tools needed to make well-informed decisions."
Advisory vs Governance
Advisory boards are solely focused on projects — bringing ideas, options, and suggestions, while leaving final decision-making to the governance board. This distinction lets governance focus on strategy.
Short & Long Term
Advisory boards can be established for both short-term and long-term projects, depending on specific organisational needs.
Dynamic Structure
The Chair remains constant, while other members can change frequently — ensuring the board always has the right expertise for each specific challenge.
Think Tank
The advisory board serves as a research and think tank, providing governance with all the information and insights needed to make informed choices.

What Does Being a Certified Chair Mean?
The Certified Chair designation from the Advisory Board Centre recognises professionals skilled in leading and managing advisory boards. Certified Chairs are trained to facilitate productive discussions and ensure that advisory boards deliver strategic insights aligned with an organisation's goals.
Their role includes guiding the board's direction, maintaining focus on key issues, selecting the right mix of members with relevant expertise, and holding the board accountable for providing actionable recommendations.
How an Advisory Board is Structured
The Advisory Board sits above the organisation — providing strategic insight while leaving governance and decisions to the board.
Key distinction: The Advisory Board brings ideas, options and recommendations — but final decisions always rest with the Governance Board. This separation preserves accountability while maximising access to expertise.
Working on a Project?
No matter the type or complexity — an advisory board may be the ideal solution. It offers unparalleled insight and helps your organisation benefit from the collective wisdom of professionals chosen for their expertise.
