22.01.2022 What Skills and Experience do you need to build a Portfolio of Work? A successful and sustainable portfolio requires: - Understanding of your current skills and relevant experience... - Clarity on how you want to deliver your value to the market - How effectively you create and connect to opportunity - The quality of service you provide to your portfolio and wider networks In our Formalised Advisory Boards Advisor Engagement Market Pulse report, we explored how companies are engaging Advisors as they build their Advisory Board structures. The data sample is based on 258 roles within firms in the Asia Pacific region ranging from pre-revenue start-ups to organisations with annual turnover of $200m. The report found that organisations seek different skills and experience from the Chair and Advisors (see previous posts for the breakdown). Organisations were also seeking to engage with people at a board level who could clearly contextualise their previous experience to the current and future needs of the organisation. This is valuable insight if you are seeking to add value at a board level as part of your portfolio. Our online executive program - Build a Portfolio Career - is a great place to understand how you can get started: https://learn.advisoryboardcentre.com.au//executivetransit

22.01.2022 Why a business gets advice depends on the problems they want to solve. It is just as important to evaluate where they get advice and "how" they engage external advisors. Throughout the lifecycle of a business, external advisors are engaged for various purposes in informal or formalised models. To improve the effectiveness and impact of the engagement of Advisors, it is useful to identify the specific business need and select the method of engagement most suited to the ...situation. The Advisor Engagement model illustrates examples of Advisor engagement options available for organisations. In an informal context, businesses may gain support from family, friends, or peers in business. They may also seek the socialised support models of network groups and informal Advisory Boards, where engagement is voluntary and often ad-hoc. For project-based or more specialised needs, organisations engage more formally with individual external Advisors such as consultants, accountants, lawyers or mentors. Formalised Advisory Boards and Governance Boards provide a structured and disciplined longer-term approach for businesses. This growth of a more formalised model is where the real evolution in Advisor engagement is occurring and we are proud to be part of driving that journey.

22.01.2022 As part of one of the many initiatives we have, Jan Easton recently appeared as a guest on Ticker TV’s She’s The Boss to discuss the importance of scaling female led businesses off the back of a piece of research we released on Achieving Scale - Breaking Through Barriers for Female Founders. Claire Brown, Campaign Manager for Birchal also joined the discussion sharing how Birchal, an equity crowdfunding platform connecting brands with investors, is a great tool for accessing ...capital. The value that quality Advisory support can lend to founders in building investor confidence and executing their strategic plans made for a great discussion. https://www.advisoryboardcentre.com.au/scaling-female-led/

21.01.2022 What Does a Portfolio Career Look Like? Each portfolio of work will be as unique as the individual professional. Executives who are still enjoying full-time work may look to utilise 10-20% of their professional time in other areas such as Advisory Boards, Governance Boards or pro bono support. They may do this for a number of years as a transition pathway to a more diverse portfolio.... Professional Service providers may look to transition the type of work they do with their current clients and open pathways to engage with new connections. This may be exchanging some of their current consulting/project-based work for strategic advisory or board engagements. This is often highlighted as a desire to have a different style of conversation or impact through their work. Professionals with a current portfolio of work may want to adjust the portfolio mix, maintain their professional currency or connect in with new networks to broaden their horizons. Are you looking to transition to a Portfolio Career? If so, take a look at our executive education program designed specifically for those looking to make the move. It's an eLearning experience that can be completed whenever, wherever. https://learn.advisoryboardcentre.com.au//executivetransit #boardofdirectors #advisoryboards #governanceboards

11.01.2022 Damien Ross led the organisation he founded through phenomenal growth (97x growth in 7 years) making it a 3-time BRW Fast 100 private company member. In consecutive years of 2007 and 2008 ITCOM was the 2nd fastest-growing private company in Australia, and made the list again in 2013. Very early on, Damien and his Co-Founder recognised they needed support to navigate the rapid growth and support them as Executives. Implementing an Advisory Board was a critical decision and one... that Damien credits for supporting the ongoing success of the business and his own development as an Executive. In this Advisor Insights with Louise Broekman, he shares "One thing that I certainly reflect on now in terms of the success of the business was firmly down to the fact that very early on when we started to realise how big this thing was getting, the need to put some governance layer over it and really test out our strategy and gain alignment, and that was by putting in an advisory board."

10.01.2022 The purpose of most Advisory Boards is to stimulate conversations to problem solve a business priority. An Advisory Board is a THINKING SYSTEM and inherently its role is not to make decisions but increase the confidence of the decision-maker. Due to the flexible nature of Advisory Boards, the roles are chosen specifically to fit the business requirements. The roles and responsibilities are normally established within the Charter alongside protocols within the Advisory Board s...tructure. Advisory Boards can be established to address a number of business challenges or opportunities including Succession Planning, Scale or International Expansion, Crisis Management. Governance Board Support, M&As, Raising Investment and much more. ----- Advisor Concierge: [email protected] A complimentary service supporting businesses scope out an Advisory Board and connect them with world-class Advisors. #advisoryboard #businesssupport

06.01.2022 Some professionals encounter problems in business and get frustrated. Others decide to find solutions - and when the solution doesn’t exist they build it. Fortunately, Megan Avard, Founder and CEO of SurePact, is a solutions builder. Leveraging her deep experience in project and contract management Megan launched SurePact, an innovative risk management software that allows project and contract managers to identify, mitigate and manage risks of deliveries from before early inn...ovation, to the tender stage right through to closeout. Since it’s launch in 2018, SurePact has gone from strength to strength. In the last year alone, they have joined forces with tech giant Microsoft as a Global Co-Sell Partner, successfully deploying the software into 13% of Queensland Councils and have received a swag of awards and recognition. As a Founder on the Advisory Board Female Founders Program in collaboration with Advance Queensland, Megan was connected with Mark Cranny, a globally experienced CFO and Certified Chair, adding another layer to the rich support network around Megan and SurePact. Whilst Megan has had an Advisory Board since day 1, that provides tremendous value to SurePact, the Advisory Board Growth program supported her development as a Founder and CEO to formalise her board structure and build on her knowledge. Read the full story of how Megan's business has been positively impacted by engaging with an Advisory Board. https://www.advisoryboardcentre.com.au/surepact-advisory-/

06.01.2022 What does professional success look like? The answer is highly personalised and, for many, difficult to articulate. You may start by describing the outcomes of success - money, recognition, knowledge, influence, currency, variety and time. Consider this - professional success is having the power of CHOICE.... The ability to choose the work that you do, who you do it with and when you do it. Money, recognition, knowledge, influence, currency, variety and time (amongst others) are both enablers and byproducts of the power of choice. Many of you already have the power of choice in your lives as you build solid portfolio careers, working with a range of exciting, diverse businesses in your roles as Advisors, Chairs or Board Directors. For those who haven't started that journey and you find yourself increasingly thinking about wanting to work with different people in different ways to add value and impact it may be time to consider diversifying your portfolio or work. This recent article might resonate with you and be a good place to start exploring what that looks like for you. https://www.advisoryboardcentre.com.au/redefining-success/
