The Advisory Board Mandate

Scope, Charter and Boundaries

In-house, for your board or team

What it covers

Designing the mandate so the advisory board carries weight without carrying liability: the six charter blocks, non-binding and non-voting design, shadow-directorship avoidance, confidentiality and tenure.

What you leave with

The Mandate Brief: a one-page charter skeleton across six blocks, each drafted in first-position language or marked with its open question and owner.

Learning outcomes

  • State what a charter is for and why the boundary must be drawn.
  • Apply the Charter Test to signable, redraft or return to formation.
  • Identify charter defects using the Leak Register and name each block.

Who it is for

Family-business founders and principals, C-suite executives and governance professionals.
