IMPROVING THE VALUE OF YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS

A Service Provided by Herb Rubenstein Consulting

Herb Rubenstein Consulting has extensive experience in working with small and medium sized businesses in improving the value that board of directors create for their organizations. Usually, Herb Rubenstein Consulting provides this service as part of a comprehensive organizational consulting assignment for our clients. Now, Herb Rubenstein Consulting has decided to offer clients a customized module that will provide a series of services specifically directed at enhancing the value of your organization’s board of directors.

In our book, Breakthrough, Inc.: High Growth Strategies for Entrepreneurial Organizations (Prentice Hall/Financial Times, 1999) we outline a new strategy for selecting members of boards of directors. Now, we have developed consulting services for a set fee that includes the following:

  • Assessment of current board of directors roles and productivity level. This assessment will result in the development of an organization-specific Board of Directors’ Scorecard that measures individual board member contributions as well as measures the contribution of the entire board of directors. This scorecard can be used over time to track progress by a board of directors
  • Development of a set of recommendations on the optimal size and composition of an ideal board of directors for the organization
  • Development of a strategy to secure the right members for your board of directors
  • Development of a set of steps the organization can take to improve the operations and productivity of the board of directors
  • Implementation assistance as necessary in transforming the board of directors.

This five step process includes interviews with each board member and selected employees in the organization and takes place over a three month time period. The fee for this service is determined by the size of the organization and its board, but generally runs between $10,000 and $20,000 for full implementation of the five step process. For more information on improving the value of your board of directors, please contact us at your convenience at 301 718-4200 or at herb@herbrubenstein.com.
