BOARD GOVERNANCE ADVISORY
Get the decisions
that matter right.
Boardpath helps boards and executives resolve the structural problems that keep important decisions from moving clearly from agenda to action.
The problem may not be the people.
Boards usually notice the symptom first. A recurring argument, a meeting that goes nowhere, a CEO who thinks the board is in the way. Often, the real problem is structural.
The board and CEO keep stepping into each other’s decisions.
The tension feels personal, but the decision boundary is often unclear when the stakes rise.
We need an outside board assessment.
Something is not working, but the board cannot locate the source of the problem.
We have a consequential decision to make.
The stakes are too high for the ordinary meeting process to carry the work well.
Our strategy is not guiding board decisions.
Strategy exists, but it is not forcing choices or shaping what the board oversees.
Our meetings and materials are not working.
The packet grows and the agenda fills, but the board is not reaching clearer judgment.
We need to orient or reset the board.
Directors need a shared governing language built around the work they actually face.
Start with the issue in front of you.
You do not need to fix everything at once. Boardpath begins with the decision or breakdown already on the table.
A major decision is coming.
Consequential Decision Session
We help the board frame the question, see what matters, work through disagreement, reach a clear judgment, and decide what happens after the vote.
The board and CEO keep crossing the line.
Board–CEO Alignment and Authority Reset
We clarify which decisions belong to the board, where management can act, what the board needs to see, and what must come back.
Something keeps breaking and no one can explain why.
Decision Trace and Board Assessment
We follow real decisions and recurring board work to find where the structure is failing and what needs to change.
Strategy exists, but it is not guiding board choices.
Strategy-to-Governance Alignment
We turn strategic intent into practical criteria for proposals, resource commitments, agendas, and oversight.
New or returning directors need shared footing.
Board Orientation and Reset
We orient directors through the board’s authority, materials, strategic direction, live decisions, and operating expectations.
Clearer decisions.
More room to act.
Fewer surprises.
Board time goes to what only the board can decide.
Directors know the question before the meeting starts.
Disagreement improves the judgment instead of stalling it.
Management leaves knowing where it can move.
The board sees changing facts while choices remain.
New leaders inherit clarity, not guesswork.
Board advisory grounded in real governing work.
Boardpath works with boards, chairs, CEOs, and leadership teams when authority is blurred, a major decision is approaching, or the same problem keeps returning.
The work is led by Dan Liutikas, a governance attorney and advisor with more than 25 years at the board table.
Bring us the problem that keeps coming back.
Or the decision you cannot afford to get wrong.
