Announcement of the Advisory Board book, 4 March 2022.
It is important to start the Advisory Board (AB) operation carefully and it is worth relying on the help of an experienced professional. Defining needs and tasks, integrating AB into the management system, choosing advisors, defining common rules of the game and many other things should be thought about and planned in advance. It is also important to be aware of what should be left to be defined by the AB itself.
Even an established Advisory Board operation may need renewal - fine-tuning or a complete transformation. The operating environment and organization change over time, so the current needs of advise may also change. In any case, the advisers' activities should be regularly strengthened and renewed. You should not stay alone with questions related to development, but call an experienced expert for help.
