Chair - Provision of One-to-One Governance Expertise ...
We will also separately provide the Chair, on a DIRECT ONE-TO-ONE BASIS, or with the Chair’s replacement designated senior authorised Board point of contact, with a structured, regular call-and-discussion forum that will focus on the Corporate Governance Performance Improvement work and also serve as a support source accessible by the Chair for Corporate Governance matters at large. This will be on the basis that the discussions are built into the contract. If we are required/requested to proceed beyond “discussing”, we will raise a separate charge for approval.
Agile Methodology ...
We will work with your Board in small, regular components and focused areas over the year; Directors are busy people with lots to do, and we respect their time while leading this mandate for success.

We Intergrate ...

Credability and Trust ...
We will analyse the results timeously, making regular, timely recommendations for Corporate Governance Performance Improvements to the designated Board Contact point for approval, and follow an agreed-upon process to prioritise them.
Conformance ...
For “Conformance” mandates, we will provide your Board with auditable evidence of the Board’s positions with respect to a regulatory Corporate Governance Framework (KSA – CMA and SAMA’s Regulatory Corporate Governance Framework | for international organisations – a generic, but representative Regulatory Corporate Governance Framework).
We Go Further – Past Regulatory Performance Minimums – To Business and Operations
We will also go further and beyond the scope of these frameworks, which are the absolute minimum of Performance aspirations, to business and operational positions aligned with the board areas of these frameworks, specifically to help the Board structure, strategise, and run your business to achieve broad Corporate Governance Performance Improvement.
Which you will never get from an assessment against a Corporate Governance framework on its own. GRC Consulting’s Unique Service Offering.
Performance ...
For “Performance” mandates, we will provide your Board with auditable evidence of the Board’s positions with respect to International Best Practice Corporate Governance and Board Dynamics, covering a wide spectrum of the best of the best, free and focused above local Corporate Governance levels, to specifically help the Board to structure, strategise, and run your business to achieve broad Corporate Governance Performance Improvement.
Auditable Evidence and Outcomes that Matter ...
We will position the Board (and its organisation), based on successfully completing the Board Performance Review and successfully implementing the highlighted recommendations, to be able to competently demonstrate, with auditability, its performance stance with respect to local regulatory Corporate Governance Frameworks and therefore, when appropriate, understand further Corporate Governance Performance Improvement work by engaging in a “Performance” mandate.

Our Vision and Objective ...
In respect of our Corporate Governance Maturity Ladder, we wish to see more organisations “Performance at their very Best” and develop the auditable, substantiated Corporate Governance Improvement capability to successfully engage with ISO 37000 (International Organisation for Standardisation) – Governance of Organisations- and related ISO 37004 – Governance Maturity Model.
At the simplest of levels, managing and controlling in organisations means exercising “Governance”, and we wish to see you achieve your very best Performance.
Our Start Point:
GRC Consulting works on the premise that your Board:
- Wishes to achieve sustained long-term Corporate Governance Performance Improvement.
- Is prepared to put in the effort and resources to achieve results.
Your Only Questions ...
Do you? and is your Board prepared to put in the effort to achieve Governance Performance Improvement?
What do you think your Stakeholders would say?
Rationale - Points for you to Consider ...
1. We only wish to Partner with Organisations that are serious about improving their Corporate Governance Performance.
2. We will not provide Services to those that wish to have a “10 question/1-page Corporate Governance Assessment – Yes, they exist – it’s disrespectful of the Board’s time and all stakeholders.
3. A Corporate Governance Framework is only the absolute minimum of Corporate Governance, usually structured by a regulatory authority to “keep it out of trouble”/provide minimal guidance. They do not, and the Corporate Governance Framework does not and never will tell you or overly help you to structure, strategise, and run your business, let alone achieve performance.
Why would you, as a Board, want to achieve the absolute minimum of Corporate Governance? Do you think your Stakeholders would agree?
4. Success requires effort – why would achieving Corporate Governance Performance require anything different, and why wouldn’t this effort be appropriately planned and focused to achieve sustained long-term Corporate Governance Performance Improvement results?
5. A short-term Board Performance effort is almost always going to provide less benefit to the Board, Organisation, and Governance Performance Improvement than a sustained, properly geared, long-term effort that is aligned with the Board, the executive, and the organisation’s governance personnel, focused on driving sustained long-term Corporate Governance Performance Improvement.
6. Achieving sustained long-term Corporate Governance Performance Improvement that is auditable brings a multitude of benefits:
- Improved access to capital/lower financing costs.
- Improved organisational performance/profitability.
- Reduced Risk to achieve the same or greater reward.
- Greater Stakeholder Trust.
- Lowers insurance Costs, both general business and specific, such as Directors’ and Officers Liability.
- Improves Decision-making and Outcomes that matter.
Why would you, as a Board, not want to achieve the above and many other benefits through improving your Corporate Governance?
Do you think your Stakeholders would agree?
