Corporate Governance Advisory Services

Gain Control of Your Business

We are experts in corporate governance, accountability and business sustainability. Privately-held company governance is defined differently depending on who you ask. There is no one-size-fits-all structure. Generally speaking, governance is the oversight and management of the business, including its strategy and alignment of tactics, and its execution on those strategies and tactics. Private company governance is affected by a company's purpose, culture and values, the flow of information and the effective communication of privileged and non-privileged information. Accountability, incentives and rewards, and risk management are affected by roles and responsibilities, policies and procedures, and metrics and goals. Governance is originated from the company's highest level leadership (Executive Committee, Board of Directors, Board of Advisors) but also encompasses all aspects of the business.

"We hired IGA to help us with shifting from an informal governance structure to an executive committee model. My first hesitation was that IGA would apply a one-sized-fits-all approach to governance and that it would be too rigid for us. After spending only a short amount of time on the front end of our engagement, IGA was able to provide a customized approach that was respectful of our culture that brought objectivity and guidance. The impact of IGA’s involvement made our team think and anticipate risks on the horizon."

The Sphere of Governance

A private company’s operating environment consists of depths and layers and functions that exist within a larger sphere or globe with each layer having its own characteristics that contribute to the sphere of the company as a whole. 

 

Privately-held company governance consists of the levers and controls

and oversight that are the lifeblood of the business. Governance is dynamic, multi-faceted, multi-dimensional and

all-encompassing.

​

Critical aspects of governance are environmental, structural

and functionally balanced as depicted in the graphic shown at

the right, which we refer to as The Sphere of Governance.

How this Relates to Our Clients

IGA’s understanding of governance matters because this is the backdrop through which we will listen to your challenges, struggles, dreams and best intentions. The Sphere of Governance is always in our mind’s eye and serves as a backdrop to any advice or guidance we provide. 

 

Working with IGA is a transparent experience. We offer context through models that are aligned with processes, strategies and tactics that we put forth in our work with our clients. We are sharing the model above because each element depicted matters to you, the services we provide, the challenges we will face together and the successes we will collectively achieve. 

 

We will apply methods and procedures to your company based upon what the right size and fit is for your organization. Again, we emphasize...there is no one-size-fits-all approach to governance when your company or firm is privately-held.

 

Advising a company's board of directors or a firm’s executive committee encompasses our understanding of governance, leadership and aspects related to our growth advisory services.
