Composing the Advisory Board

Recruiting for Counsel, Not Ornament

Open enrolment and in-house

What it covers

Composing a board so each seat answers a mandate question: the fixed formation sequence, five composition disciplines, sourcing beyond the principal's network, independence and conflict screening, and remuneration norms.

What you leave with

The Composition Brief: mandate questions mapped to seats, one full seat specification, a sourcing plan past the circle, screening questions, terms, and dated onboarding.

Learning outcomes

State the fixed sequence of mandate, specification, sourcing and selection.
Apply the Composition Test to an appoint, re-source or re-specify verdict.
Write a seat specification and an onboarding runway to the second meeting.
