Second Mile Consulting use Facet5 Teamscape to explore the Board composition through the lens of personality. It shows the personality diversity of the Board and where there are any gaps or overlaps. Facet5 also provides a foundation on which to build a broader Board development Programme.
Most Boards do not have regular interactions, often meeting monthly or quarterly. There is little opportunity to form trusting relationships which helps to facilitate effective decision making. Facet5 has a unique ability to expedite the ‘getting to know one another’ stage.
Facet5 Teamscape allows an independent and meaningful comparison of Board and Executive team members, identifying the natural style of each team member, highlighting what they naturally contribute and those areas that may make them less effective.
It brings to life the dynamics within the team in the following ways:
- Generating Ideas – how will they generate options and alternatives to a problem or opportunity?
- Evaluation – how will they evaluate those ideas? Will they encourage a radical new approach or play it safe and risk free?
- Decision Making – how will they make decisions? Will they decide quickly and take charge or approach it carefully and take their time?
- Implementation – finally, how will they go about implementing the decisions? Will they jump in and learn through trial and error or create a plan and take a considered approach?
Second Mile Consulting will deliver this awareness through a half-day Board away-day in consultation with the organisation. This will include an opportunity for the collective Board or Executive Committee to explore what makes them great and to identify and discuss openly things that may be holding the team back as well as:
Tactics
How the delivery of the work is likely to be managed, rule free or rule conscious?
Proportionality
Likelihood of under-reacting or over-reacting to stress and pressure.
Response
How the team is likely to respond to discord and conflict.

By collectively gaining an understanding of each Board member’s preferences, we gain insight into what is said, and not being said, in the Boardroom. Second Mile Consulting can run this alongside a Board Evaluation, and for Financial Services Firms we do this in partnership with BP&E Global.
