The advisory board of start-ups and SMEs

You must create as soon as possible an advisory board that will grow with the company!

To start you have to create your advisory board in successive stages and applying simple reicepts!

Do not hesitate. Start now!

For most startups, and many VSEs or SMEs, the subject of governance and its bodies is very theoretical! Far too theoretical. In the first months, the first years, it is often a subject that we do not deal with and that we push back to later. It is a mistake.

At TrouveTonBoard we are convinced and we defend “test & learn” for the first steps of governance. No great theory, a practice of the advisory board as soon as possible by attainable and measurable steps. Keeping in mind two objectives: realism and operational.

Backed by several years of setting up advisory boards, we support managers in setting up feasible/applicable governance in a few quick and easy steps to promote exchanges and contributions as quickly as possible. management body in the performance of the company’s project.

* We must first distinguish between the legal / mandatory aspects of governance and the good practices that give competitive advantages.

* Then you have to define the best profiles who will join the advisory board and at the same time give advice to the leaders/founders on the management of such a body.

* It is necessary to recruit, hunt and select the best candidates, experts in their field.

* To then prepare, by different techniques, the cohesion of the working group thus formed and develop the ability to discuss and work together.

* Finally, the whole thing is not to create a governance so as not to reap the benefits!!! You have to learn how to lead and animate an advisory board.

* without forgetting each year to evaluate the performance of the board, its members and to know how to change the expertise according to the growth needs of the company.
