Lynn McGregor is a recognised leader on the human aspects of corporate governance. She supports the chair and board to create the best board structure and composition, get the best from their directors and improve the quality of board dynamics and decision making.
She has dual British and South African citizenship and, as daughter of anti-apartheid activists, learned early lessons on leadership and the use and abuse of power from key figures, including Nelson Mandela and the Nobel prizewinner Chief Albert Lethuli. This passion led to over twenty years working with leading boards, chairpeople, CEOs and senior executives - also experience as a non-executive director and board adviser. Earlier experience in social science, education and drama has given her exceptional insight into people and how boards and executives work together.
Her radical approach is based on acute understanding of the way board performance relates to the style and character of the chair and CEO, the quality of directors and their decision-making abilities. Within this holistic framework she has developed a constructive process for evaluating and developing director potential as well as transferring these critical 'soft factor' skills to key directors. Outcomes include selection and integration of new directors and board development leading to better decision making, successful transitions, avoiding 'people problem' risks and greater confidence between board, executive and key investors.
Lynn gives keynote presentations as well as writing papers for prestigious conferences and publications. These include a chapter on The Human Aspects of Corporate Governance for Standard and Poors' Governance and Risk, McGraw-Hill, 2004.
Lynn McGregor co-founded Decision Development in 1980, a company known for improving the quality of decision-making. In 2000 she founded Convivium, a company focused on improving the effectiveness of chairpeople, CEOs, boards, senior executives and the working relationships between them and major investors.
Lynn's latest book, The Human Face of Corporate Governance, is considered to have 'broken new ground' (Prof Bernard Taylor) and 'provides a most helpful analysis of the human ingredients of improving board functions' (Bob Monks), while Sir Christopher Hogg believes that 'the pay-offs for business conducted in this way could be enormous.'
