Time to start systematic board work?

In the beginning, the board of the company often includes founders and relatives. When the company grows, there is a need to get the company's management systems and processes in order. Often at this stage, the founders realize the importance of the board and start systematic board work.

This is a good time to bring an external board member into the board. An outsider sees things that owners struggling with operational challenges may not notice. An external member with previous board experience can significantly improve the quality of the board work and increase the added value the board brings to the company. It is recommended that there should always be at least two external board members to ensure good group dynamics.

Examples of how an external board member helps the company:
- bring discipline to board work and thus added value to the company's operations
- challenge and spar the CEO
- enhance strategy work and decision-making
- expand the company's contact network

Advisors for global market entry

We at Tietoa Finland have strong growth ambitions and plans for global market entry. While our team does not have all the skills needed for this, we used Boardio to find advisors.

The search process was smooth and the result was above our expectations. In a short period of time, we received appli cations from several highly experienced individuals and now have two working as our advisors.

Advisors for growth challenges

Boardio started to search for an advisor to help us on the challenges of growth. We had a high level of standards and required, among other things, managerial experience in our industry. Boardio found a really good candidate with whom we are now working with.

I can highly recommend Boardio to any company that needs honest and experienced external views to support business growth.

Aalto University seeks for advisors in its projects aiming into start-ups. We have received excellent candidates through Boardio and continue its use in the future.

I would absolutely recommend Boardio also to others. As an electronic tool it is a good complement for the innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Experience and knowledge sharing

We have established a relationship with a new advisor through Boardio that could potentially be our partner in Finland. This advisor shares our vision and has more experience than us, we see that this can go well.

I think Boardio is a good way to seek advisors who complement skills you want to grow your business and expertise.
