The Corporate Governance Professional Association (CGPA) continues to implement the “Board Test Drive” project in partnership with Boyden. This format allows business owners to test the effectiveness of an advisory board within their company without long-term commitments.
The Project was created so that businesses can evaluate the value of a board as a strategic management tool in practice without immediately taking on the full scope of obligations associated with its implementation.
A supervisory board is not about control, but about the quality of management decisions, strategic dialogue, and the involvement of external expertise. The “test drive” format allows business owners to experience these benefits in their own context and make an informed decision regarding the further development of their management system.
Practical Experience and Future Plans
Last year, CGPA already implemented a similar project with the company “Pharmastor” (the “Good Day Pharmacy” chain), confirming the effectiveness of this format and its practical value for businesses.
In 2026, we plan to implement several more pilot projects with companies that:
- are considering establishing an advisory board
- seek to strengthen their management system
- are interested in leveraging external expertise for business development
How the format works
As part of the Project, the company has the opportunity to:
- form a board composed of experienced professionals
- hold several board meetings focused on strategic issues
- receive practical recommendations for business development
- assess the effectiveness of interaction with the board
This approach allows you to minimize risk and make decisions based on your own experience rather than theoretical concepts.
How to join
We invite business owners to submit a short application to participate in the Project.
