An important article by colleague Dr. Jay Bevington covering lots of dimensions that are specific to partnership boards and their effectiveness. Although the governance of most partnerships derives from the same basic laws and principles as for other private companies, the manner of execution of governance can be quite different and the stakeholder dynamic is unique - perhaps hundreds/thousands of minority "shareholders" all involved in the business! Professional services partnerships may also need to work extra hard to ensure diversity of thought on their boards, especially if their business is focussed on a specific discipline (e.g. law, accountancy etc)- there is a risk that board members might tend towards approaching issues from the same perspective and "groupthink" could creep in. Another interesting dynamic stems from board members overseeing the Exec team but, also reporting to it in their day jobs. Like with other potential conflicts, explicit measures and safeguards are needed to ensure that board members feel comfortable in raising constructive challenge during their tenure on the board. Enjoy!
