An Advisory Board can succinctly articulate value (and risk) in your strategy and can help your organisation navigate the path ahead with the benefit of their experience. They are used to working at board level and are as comfortable engaging on strategic topics as they are on business operations. All of these individuals have extensive experience of managing large scale technology transformation programmes.

They can offer you the benefit of their experience, acting as a sounding board for new ideas, as well as utilising their expertise to deep-dive into complex subject areas.
