Greetings........ I’m Doug Marsh a New Zealand based Professional Chair, Director, Hon. Consul, Governance Standards for the Board Consultant, lecturer, writer, business group speaker and Business Adviser. I'm the inaugural President of Business NZ andI was the National President NZIM.

​

I’m a Justice of the Peace, Life Fellow of the New Zealand Institute of Management, and (Rtd) Fellow of the New Zealand Institute of Directors. Recipient of the Institute of Directors overseas study award. Studied Governance Standards for the Board and Board Strategic Leadership at Henley University UK.

​

In regards to Business Governance I find it very annoying in the quantum of shareholder value destruction that has happened within New Zealand over recent years!

​

NZ companies have been failing at an alarming rate. Spectacular self-implosions the consequence of incompetent Board’s and cavalier naive Directors.  

 

Board Chairs and directors are accountable to shape and guide company strategy over the long term driven by stakeholder expectations, global market change, technological developments, competitive challenges, and opportunities.

Want to transform your board? Become a powerhouse of Strategic leadership capability...

 

The Board Chair is the Strategic Leader Champion with ability to anticipate, envision, maintain flexibility and empower others to create the needed long-term changes.

Is your Board looking in the rearview mirror for strategic direction? A rubber stamp for managements proposals, Is your Board a survey statistic showing that Boards spend their most time on compliance that they understand financials better than risks to the business, relevance of current strategies, industry dynamics, Duty of Care, and how value is created in the Company.
