Why Choose Bvalco?

Bvalco Board Performance Reviews are different. We understand the delicate balance between the informal dynamics within boardrooms and the formalities of corporate governance. Our unique expertise lies at the intersection of these realms, enabling us to help our clients to optimise both. At the heart of our approach is a forward-looking mindset, asking: What can boards do better or differently to maximise their value to the business?

 

Our clients consistently commend us for striking the balance between being engaging and straight-talking and for focussing on a small number of impactful recommendations. They confirm that our reviews have a positive and tangible impact on board effectiveness.

"‘We were pleased to engage Bvalco for the first time to conduct our external board review. They delivered a robust and maturely presented report and offered some helpful insights to which we are able to respond to positive effect'"

Scott Wheway

Chair

Scottish Widows

"We used Bvalco to carry out our board review for three years in a row. The recommendations were very insightful. Overall it made the board process more efficient and improved understanding of the respective roles of the executives and non-executives."

Douglas Flint

Former Chairman

HSBC Group

‘My Board was very pleased with the review and consider it to be of high quality and suggested some useful actions. The interviews were well planned, conducted and gave rise to some positive discussions and outcomes.’ 

Annette Court

Former Chair

Admiral Group

"We have had two recent reviews by Bvalco, and together, they have been incredibly helpful and a catalyst for real improvements in the Board's effectiveness. The feedback to the Board was direct, very honest, positive, and well-received. Its delivery was a 'tour de force'."

Our Board Performance Reviews Are Different

Our approach to Board Performance Reviews is to recognise that there’s no point looking back over what you’ve done, when it’s how well you’re going to do in future that really matters.


This requires recognising that the board isn’t just governed by the formal roles, processes and strategies in place, but is also a social entity whose decisions are as much influenced by the informal culture, values and beliefs at play.

Post Office Scandal - What lessons for Boards?

By James Bagge • 22 Jan, 2024
It does seem remarkable that the Board of the Post Office was not given or did not avail itself of an opportunity to intervene at an earlier stage. The Public enquiry will doubtless opine and perhaps it is unhelpful to be too specific about this case at this stage. But whatever else, so far as the Post Office itself is concerned their conduct has been outrageous as Sir Wyn Williams found.
