Governance
Governance isn't just about creating a board and scheduling quarterly meetings. It comes into play when a company realizes it's wasting time and value due to a lack of a basic decision-making structure.
This is for your company if:
✔ The same topics reappear in several meetings, without conclusion or owner.
✔ Partners, directors, and council have differing interpretations regarding priorities and risk.
✔ There is a lack of clear rules regarding who decides what, and based on what information.
✔ There are key positions filled based on affinity or urgency, without objective criteria.
✔ Growth, fundraising, or M&A require more discipline and traceability of decisions.
From the board to the right seat: pillars of Governance
1
Advisory Council
✔ We structured the board model: composition, roles, frequency, meeting formats, and relationship with the board of directors.
✔ We help transform raw information into objective material for the board: key indicators, scenarios, risks, and decision options.
✔ We implemented a decision log: what was decided, by whom, on what basis, and the execution deadline – with a clear RACI for each area.
2
Headhunting & Mentoring
✔ Before going to market, we define what this position needs to deliver, what skills are essential, and how performance will be measured.
✔ Evidence-based selection: interviews, case studies, references, and objective criteria, aligned with the company's current situation and growth thesis.
✔ Onboarding, alignment rituals, clear goals, and monitoring of the adaptation curve – to reduce the risk of mismatch and turnover.
3
Operating rhythm and fine-tuning
✔ We support the first rounds of board and committee meetings
✔ We refine agendas, materials, and cadence as the company matures
✔ We transfer the methodology so governance continues to operate independently, without reliance on Climb
Success criteria
✔ Agenda items closed on time
Critical topics are scheduled with a decision date—rather than staying in “endless discussion.”
✔ Decisions documented and executed
What gets decided is recorded with owners, deadlines, and follow-up to ensure delivery.
✔ Leaders operating with cadence and targets
Management runs on clear goals, structured rituals, and recurring reviews—not only in “special meetings.”
