The challenge
Where they were
GBSC's board of shareholders wanted three things that are harder to hold together than they sound: a better return on their investment, less corporate risk, and communication from the executive team that arrived before a problem did.
The gap was structural rather than personal. There was no consistent mechanism for the board to see how the business was performing, no regular discipline for identifying risk, and no line connecting what management was rewarded for to what the shareholders actually wanted.
What we did
- Worked closely with the Managing Director and department managers to set strategic plans the executive team owned rather than received
- Introduced regular risk assessments as a standing discipline, so risk was reviewed on a cycle instead of after an event
- Built KPI dashboards that measure success in time for the board to act on what they show
- Designed risk and reward incentive programs that align management behaviour with shareholder return
- Established employee share schemes to extend that alignment further into the business
The outcome
What changed
Share price improved by 277%. The corporate risk rating fell by 79%, and health-check dashboards now cover 100% of the company — the board sees performance as it happens rather than in arrears. Staff 360 reviews rate management at 82%, which matters: the governance changes held because the people inside the business backed them.
