How is an advisory board different from a board of directors?
Advisory boards provide non-binding strategic guidance without fiduciary duties or legal liability. This allows for more open discussion and diverse composition.
How is this different from hiring consultants?
Consultants engage for defined projects and depart. Advisory boards provide ongoing strategic perspective with accountability. The relationship is collaborative.
What's the time commitment for advisory board members?
Most boards meet quarterly for 2-3 hours, with preparation time. Some include ad-hoc consultations between meetings.
Do you work with organizations outside the UAE?
Yes. We work with organizations across the Gulf and internationally.
