Redefining governance excellence: board search with heart and capability

Boards spanning social purpose organisations across Australia are leading through unprecedented change at a rate that far outpaces any other service or product economy.

Multiple Royal Commissions, robust changes in power spanning state and federal government, increasing societal expectations, cyber-security, economic pressure, and an escalating demand for essential services – but a few of the prime drivers underpinning the vastness of reform and complexity for organisations to circumnavigate.


Why choose us?

At Orchard Talent Group we assist organisations to appropriately pivot, diversify, and strengthen their governance framework to best support organisational stability within a sea of change. Committed entirely to the social purpose sectors, our approach is steeped in a richness of commercial, cultural, and political understanding.

Assisting to recompose boards spanning for-purpose, privately held, publicly listed and government organisations, our practice is led by our most senior search practitioners. We exercise professionalism, discretion and rigour providing our clients depth, independence, and security.


Our approach

Our board search practitioners understand the sensitivity, impact, and sometimes political complexity of changes at board level for an organisation. We exercise professionalism, discretion and rigour providing our clients confidence, depth, independence, and security.

Our approach includes:

  • Knowledge: We bring our highly developed knowledge of the sectors we serve and research capabilities to every search, ensuring we best represent the role of our partner organisations now, and in the future.
  • Review: Where necessary we can assist boards to assess their current performance, skills and capabilities through review and development of board skills matrix and composition to ensure each candidate brings the key skills needed to create a stronger board overall.
  • Discretion: We seek to understand the opportunities, challenges and sensitivities surrounding the appointment through authentic engagement with the current board and discrete market research. Our practitioners engage candidates that will bring skill and perspective that will advance the interests of the organisation and the people they serve.
