scHammond Advisors are experts in advisory boards. We guide business and nonprofits through the process of establishing an advisory board and gaining full access to the many benefits that come from receiving advice and support from knowledgeable people who are invested in your success.

An advisory board is an economical, effective alternative to costly peer groups or CEO forums. With an advisory board, 100% of the advisors’ time is focused on helping you and your organization. You are held more accountable by an advisory board than with other groups. By having an advisory board with the same people who meet regularly, you gain more synergy than when working with individual consultants.

If you have a board of directors, we can also help you deal with board governance issues. We provide benchmarks for how effective boards perform and teach you how to structure board roles and activity for maximum impact.
