Board Advisory
A candid outside voice in the boardroom.
Greatweek supports a small number of board and advisory relationships focused on commercial strategy, partnerships, expansion and relevant enterprise AI adoption.
Get in touch
Pressure-test the commercial plan
Assumptions behind the forecast, the pipeline math and the cost of the next market.
Read the go-to-market honestly
Where the motion is real, where it is a hope, and what would have to be true.
Support the leadership team
A sounding board for the CEO and commercial leaders between meetings, not only at them.
Bring an operator's view of AI
What AI investment can realistically change in a regulated enterprise, and on what timeline.
Scope and commitment are agreed individually for each board relationship.
When it fits
Challenge the assumptions before the board funds them.
For boards and leadership teams evaluating expansion, commercial performance, partnerships or an enterprise AI investment. Greatweek brings a commercial operator’s perspective to the decision: what the buyer evidence supports, what the forecast assumes and where execution may break down. The work can be a focused review or an ongoing advisory relationship with agreed responsibilities.
What the work puts in your hands
- A commercial assessment that separates evidence from assumptions in the plan.
- Decision questions and investment gates for expansion or partnership proposals.
- A view of pipeline quality, execution dependencies and leadership capability.
- Agreed follow-up priorities for the CEO and commercial leadership team.
The engagement
Scope the work. Execute. Review the evidence.
Frame the decision
Identify the board question, relevant materials and boundaries of the advisory remit. Agree what evidence is needed before a recommendation is useful.
Pressure-test the case
Review customer economics, pipeline logic, market assumptions and delivery capacity. Discuss the gaps with the leadership team.
Support the follow-through
Translate the review into decisions, questions and checkpoints. Where agreed, support the leadership team between board meetings.
Before we start
Is advisory work the same as a board appointment?
No. Advisory support and a formal director appointment carry different responsibilities. The relationship, authority and any appointment are agreed explicitly before work begins.
Can you review one expansion or partnership decision?
Yes. A focused commercial review can be scoped around a specific board decision without requiring an ongoing advisory relationship.
Does this replace legal, financial or regulatory advice?
No. This is commercial support. Legal duties, financial assurance, tax and regulatory matters remain with the appropriate qualified advisers.
Which assumption needs a harder look?
Tell us what needs to change, where the business stands today and what decision comes next. We will discuss whether a defined Greatweek engagement is the right next step.
