Board Governance

When Governance Fails,

Everything Slows Down.

Board dysfunction leads to stalled decisions, low morale, and missed opportunities. Whether you're facing a leadership gap or misaligned roles, we bring clarity and structure.


The Pivotal Group delivers more than training—we transform boards through diagnostics, alignment, and practical tools that drive confident leadership.

Are These Governance Issues Holding You Back?

  • Unclear roles or disengaged members
  • Board–CEO misalignment
  • Outdated or ignored policies
  • Low meeting participation
  • Recruitment challenges and friction


These aren't training issues—they're transformation issues.

Our Board Transformation Process

We use a structured, high-impact framework built for complex board environments:

Surveys, interviews, and evaluations to uncover strengths, challenges, and dynamics

Facilitated retreats and strategy sessions to clarify roles, culture, policies, and priorities

Embed new habits, tools, and structures to reinforce a culture of accountability and leadership



“Most boards don’t need more training—they need clarity, confidence, and a plan.”

  — Lyn Corbett, PhD
