The 18th Camel also provides Board Advisory services to:

• add value by exposing the board to new thinking, thereby broadening horizons, improving understanding of a company’s markets, risks and future drivers of growth, and critically, challenging assumptions and guarding against groupthink;
• provide technical or specialist advice and extend the range of skills and understanding of the board in areas beyond its day-to-day fields of expertise;
• widen the networks of contacts and opportunities available to the organisation and so directly benefit the bottom line.

Put simply, The 18th Camel board advisory practice provides clients with access to talent that they would otherwise not be able to tap.

“Board advisors are there to give focus to or sometimes challenge research and intelligence work being done in the company, thus avoiding groupthink and giving direction on big picture issues.” – Bill Emmott, former editor of The Economist

The 18th Camel board advisory service is offered on a bespoke basis and typically involves a fixed retainer for up to 5 days of advisory work per month, including regular in-person meetings and annual strategic reviews.
