Why use external facilitation?
An external facilitator can offer independent and impartial advice and objectivity. It can be particularly useful for:
- A board undergoing a period of change - eg after the appointment of a new chairman
- When a fresh perspective would be useful - for stable boards with long standing membership
- If the board is challenged or lobbied by the company's stakeholders
- When in-house resources are already stretched or unavailable
