Who do we help?
How can we help you?
Boardvisory offers services that support board members and C-Suite executives to operate more efficiently by addressing both the structural aspects of Corporate Governance and the interpersonal skills and behaviours of individual Board Directors.
Governance Frameworks typically involve the structures, processes, and policies that guide an organisation’s decision-making and oversight. Behavioural competencies refer to the skills, qualities, and behaviours that Board Directors bring to the Boardroom.
Boardvisory works at the intersection of Corporate Governance and behavioural competencies of Board Directors because we aspire to creating more effective board members using our Director-Shift ™ framework.
Boardvisory’s Director-Shift™ framework empowers boards to reassess their effectiveness as a board and unlock exceptional performance.

This is where Director-Shift ™ happens. It’s the overlap of all three at the same time.

Having served on boards since 2014, I can confidently say that the IODSA’s Exceptional Women on Board programme, led by Joy-Marie, was the most impactful I’ve attended. Her deep expertise in corporate governance, combined with a safe, interactive learning environment, helped us relearn, reflect, and reignite our passion for board leadership. The calibre of guest speakers, mentoring sessions, and practical tools made it a standout experience, empowering us to lead with confidence, uphold strong values, and embrace inclusivity in often male-dominated spaces. This programme is a must, no matter how experienced a director you are.
