Consulting And Organizational Development

Boards and Committees have to be accountable to their membership, funders and stakeholders. As well, they need to learn how to work effectively and efficiently. Boards and Committees, whether new, established or in transition, can benefit from skills development assistance. Advance Corporate Training Ltd. is pleased to help your Board improve it's effectiveness.

Governance
We can help you set up your Board governance system, develop policies and establish criteria for measuring success. We can help you draft job descriptions, terms of reference and handbooks. We provide one on one or small group governance advice designed for your specific board needs.

Training
We train individual Board members or the Board as a whole. Training in topics like group process, minute taking, team building, communication, strategic planning or managing diversity add to the basics of governance and meeting management training.

Policy and procedure development
We can help you draft policy and procedure manuals for your organization and for your Board.

Strategic development and facilitation
We can help you identify and articulate your mission and vision statements and create realistic goals. We will work with you to audit and revise your five-year plans. We can facilitate Board retreats and team building sessions. See our retreat section for more details.

All our board services are developmental rather than prescriptive in nature. We do not use "canned" programs but bring the best of our expertise to join with the expertise of your group to ensure customized, outcome-oriented results.
