The Strategic Edge: How Advisory Boards Propel Unlisted Firms Forward In today's dynamic business landscape, unlisted companies are increasingly leveraging advisory boards to drive growth, enhance governance, and navigate complex challenges. Unlike statutory boards, advisory boards offer a unique blend of flexibility and expertise, allowing companies to harness specialized knowledge without the formalities of a full board structure. Advisory boards serve as a strategic resource, providing unlisted firms with tailored advice on areas such as market expansion, operational efficiency, and risk management. By bringing together industry experts and seasoned professionals, these boards enable companies to benefit from diverse perspectives and innovative ideas, which are crucial for staying competitive in the market. Moreover, the informal nature of advisory boards allows for candid discussions and quick decision-making, which is often essential for unlisted firms aiming to scale rapidly or pivot in response to market changes. This agility can be a significant advantage, particularly in sectors where speed and innovation are key drivers of success. For unlisted firms looking to strengthen their governance and strategic direction, establishing an advisory board could be a game-changer. It not only enhances decision-making but also signals a commitment to best practices and long-term value creation, which can be attractive to potential investors and partners. As the business environment continues to evolve, the role of advisory boards in unlisted firms is likely to become even more critical. By tapping into the insights and experience of an advisory board, unlisted companies can navigate challenges more effectively and unlock new opportunities for growth. #boards #AdvisoryBoard #boardofdirector #boardleadership #percyvaid

This week, Deloitte hosted the inaugural M&A Executive Forum in Sydney, Australia. The event brought together Deloitte colleagues and industry leaders to share insights on global and Asia Pacific market trends, with a focus on Japan's deal-making landscape and the opportunities it presents for Australian investors. We explored where momentum is strongest across industries and highlighted the importance of reinvention and inorganic growth for corporates. Key takeaways from the forum included: Economic Outlook: While the macro drivers for M&A have evolved post-pandemic, the future remains promising. Strategic focus on inorganic opportunities as well as cost management is essential, as is understanding the changing role of governments, central banks, and capital markets in shaping M&A opportunities. Leadership and Culture: Success in M&A hinges on strong leadership and a focus on people and culture to deliver value. Ethical Perspectives in M&A: M&A is not just about profits or compliance—it’s about doing what’s right for our communities, country, and environment. We had the privilege of hearing from David Gonski AC, one of Australia’s best known and most respected business leaders, Dr. Simon Longstaff AO, The Executive Director of St James Ethics Centre and John O’Mahony, Partner, Deloitte Access Economics, as they explored how doing what’s right and ethical can be good for business. AI driven M&A: The rate of innovation and the impact of AI models and techniques is well and truly felt within the M&A landscape. M&A has always been about growth and companies coming together to create something greater than the sum of their parts. With AI there exists the opportunity to be faster, smarter, and more effective in these deals. Advantaged Acquirers: The best acquirers focus on a number of M&A components including unlocking synergies, cultural fit, due diligence and transformative deals that deliver long-term shareholder value. The forum featured insights from Gina Cass-Gottlieb, Chair of the ACCC, who discussed competition policy and proposed merger reforms in Australia while highlighting the significance of the ACCC in its 50th anniversary.
