The Advisory Board
We don’t offer advice from the sidelines. We install a Professional Advisory Board, the air traffic control system your business needs to navigate complexity, reduce blind spots and make better decisions with confidence.
Faraday is a global leader in purpose-built advisory boards, working with over 475 companies since 2017. Most had never had a board before. Steve operates as a Faraday Certified Chair, bringing that framework together with over 33 years of commercial experience and the neuroscience lens. The board structure itself is Faraday’s; the diagnostic lens Steve brings to it is his own.
How it works
01.
Educate.
We introduce your team to the fundamentals of a professional advisory board: what works, what to avoid, how to get the most from the process. During this phase we audit your current Inside View to identify the bottlenecks, the profit leakages, and the complexity ceiling capping your growth.
02.
Establish.
Our signature onboarding programme gets your board up and running in 90 days. Together we align around purpose, people and priorities, and build the structure to support the advice, not just give it. Guided by your Chair, you gain clarity on strategic options and put in place the board you’ve always wanted, not the one you were told to have, including selecting problem-relevant advisors and creating a Performance Charter with clear, measurable objectives.
03.
Execute.
This is where ambition becomes reality, and where the value compounds. Your board operates under a Faraday Certified Chair to keep strategic rhythm, focus and accountability strong. You move from thinking about growth to executing a system-driven model built for long-term value.
