boards and governance

The calibre and effectiveness of your board is one of the most critical factors that funders will consider before making an investment. We work with you to build an engaged and capable board, maximising the untapped opportunities residing in your skills and networks. We will ensure you have the right people with the right skills at the right time to achieve your vision.

Our services include fundraising training for your board, mentoring your chair and directors, and providing advice and guidance to ensure your leadership is aligned for success, including roles, structures and effective working relationships between the board and management.

strategic planning

Wendy Brooks & Partners will work with your board and senior management to create a strategic plan that aligns your organisation to its purpose and has clear, measurable and achievable goals and strategies.

Our creative and engaging process involves:

  • Uncovering and articulating your unique theory of change
  • Using your theory of change as a guide to develop ambitious yet realistic goals
  • Developing clear strategies and measurable outcomes

Our process includes a facilitated strategic planning workshop and 1:1 sessions with the organisational leadership team to further develop the plan.

Our collaborative approach creates ownership of the plan by your team, aligning and equipping you for success.
