Strategic Advisory Retainer
For organisations that are no longer trying to fix governance. They are trying to live it, consistently, in real time. Ongoing senior advisory support for the complexity that does not arrive in neat packages.
Duration: Monthly, minimum 3 to 6 months
Complexity Boards Face
Even with governance structures and frameworks in place, organisations face ongoing complexity. Board dynamics are tested by real situations, and new challenges emerge that frameworks alone cannot anticipate. At this scale, managing these situations without an external perspective carries significant risk. This is where a sustained external presence is essential.
What the Retainer Provides
A sustained senior advisory presence to support leadership teams and boards in managing complex decisions as they arise. Monthly retained engagement provides structured access to experienced advice on governance, leadership, and high-stakes situations. Direct access ensures that when critical issues emerge, the organisation is not navigating them alone.
Because the advisor understands your organisation’s context and dynamics, every conversation begins from an informed position, allowing guidance to be relevant and actionable from the first interaction.
Who This Is For
The retainer is for organisations that have their governance foundations in place and need trusted senior advisory support to navigate ongoing complexity.
It suits NGOs, charities, and social impact organisations managing sustained high-stakes decisions, scaling organisations with continuous governance demands, and corporate boards or executive teams facing ongoing strategic challenges.
This engagement requires commitment to ongoing collaboration. Its value grows over time as the advisor develops deep familiarity with your organisation and context. Every retainer begins with a discovery conversation to confirm scope, needs, and fit.
WORK WITH US
Every retainer engagement begins with a private discovery conversation to understand your organisation’s context, current priorities, and what sustained advisory support should provide. We take the time to review every enquiry and respond within two to three business days.
