Episode 337: summer series – Advisory board mini series – Louise Broekman outlines the history and importance of advisory boards

Today on the Take on Board podcast, I’m speaking with Louise Broekman about well, all things advisory boards. This is part of an advisory board mini series in today’s episode one, where we will discuss the history, purpose, structure, and impact of advisory boards.

Louise is on the advisory board of the Advisory Board Centre, so if that’s not the peak of all advisory boards, I’m not sure what is. And she’s been on, well, heaps of advisory boards. She’s the founder and CEO of the Advisory Board Centre, and having had first-hand life-changing experience with her advisory board in a previous business, Louise researched and tested the advisory board sector for five years before establishing the world’s first professional body for the advisory board sector.
