The Board Governance Challenge

Your board is responsible for oversight, strategy, and accountability. Yet many boards struggle with these critical issues.

โœ—

SGX Compliance Uncertainty โ€” unclear where you stand on Rules 710โ€“720

โœ—

Rubber-Stamp Decisions โ€” board effectiveness unclear, strategic debate minimal

โœ—

Missing Female Directors โ€” SGX target is 25% by 2025, most boards fall short

โœ—

No Succession Plan โ€” what happens when key directors retire?

โœ—

Risk Management Gaps โ€” unclear who oversees what, risk reporting inadequate

โœ—

Outdated Board Composition โ€” skills misaligned with current strategy and challenges

Sound familiar? You're not alone.

Most Singapore boards face these challenges. The good news: they're solvable โ€” with the right expertise and a structured approach.

We Help Boards Move From
Compliance to Excellence

I'm Jennifer Chong, a corporate governance expert with a PhD in board effectiveness and 8+ years of research on gender diversity in leadership. I work directly with Singapore's boards to deliver real, measurable governance improvements.

My work combines academic research rigor with practical consulting experience โ€” bridging the gap between governance theory and business reality. Every recommendation I make is grounded in published evidence, not opinion.
