These boards are used in construction, energy, defence, aerospace IT and technology sectors where long term commitments and relationships are at the forefront.
Any conflicts arising can be dealt with expeditiously and cost effectively, ensuring projects are delivered and relationships continue.
They are an effective way of avoiding disputes from arising through the proactive conflict spotting role that the board plays at an early stage. Where disputes do arise, they can be dealt with.
