How Bvalco works
Bvalco builds each board review around the needs of that board. The work looks forward and asks what the board can do better to add value to the business. Reviews cover both formal governance and informal board culture and behaviour. Interviews with directors are a core part of the work. Recommendations are kept short and practical, so the board can act on them. The approach rests on four pillars: Interpersonal skills, business and governance and behaviour expertise, succinct actionable advice, and engaging feedback.
