About us
At Sirdar, we understand the challenges of a boardroom and the trepidation that some entrepreneurs, founders and family businesses experience when considering implementing a board. Hence why we developed an end-to-end service seeing to all aspects involved in running a high-performing board that delivers on its promises. Whether you already have a board or are considering implementing one, we want to partner with you to ensure that: Your board has a composition most suited to your industry, business and strategy. Governance and compliance requirements are seen to effectively. All company secretarial duties – within and outside of the boardroom – are take care of. Regular evaluations take place to measure progress and highlight challenges. Directors recognise what is required of them, understand the magnitude of their role and remain up to date with legislative changes. Effective director training supports meaningful contribution and accountability. The chairperson, board and executive are able to work effectively together given the richness of interactions and reporting, and through basing director appointments on deep insight provided by world-renowned profilers. Director appointment and rotations are a seamless process handled by board appointment specialists who find the candidates most suited to your specific scenario. With the Sirdar Governance Compass forming the foundation of everything that we do, you can rest assured that eight factors critical to boardroom success are effectively managed and leveraged: Strategy and direction Organisational culture Effective leadership Stakeholder engagement Shareholder returns Risk management and compliance Financial results Evaluation and improvement The result is an effective board that is focused on purpose, performance, sustainability and conformance.

The human race generally defaults to focusing on the negative when it comes to others e.g. what someone did that was wrong. In his latest blog, Kieron McRae challenges us to catch someone doing something great. What do you think the impact of doing this would be? #Sirdar #MalcolmGladwell #BrokenWindows #KenBlanchard #GetCaught #ThoughtLeadership
SIRDAR MANAGING PARTNER | Guiding boards and growing business through guiding, appointing and educating high-performance boards globally
Pointing out when someone is doing something wrong is easy. What if we flipped the script so to speak, and focused on the good? My latest blog is inspired by Malcolm Gladwell, and takes a look at the Broken Windows philosophy and the potential impact of being "caught" doing something good. #MalcolmGladwell #BrokenWindows #KenBlanchard #GetCaught
