Introducing The Boardroom Path Podcast
At Sainty Hird & Partners, we’ve been at the forefront of recruiting senior board members across the City, Industry, the Public Sector, and NGOs for over 30 years. Alongside our recruitment services, we now also offer board evaluations, coaching, and mentoring for those seeking to transition from an executive career into the boardroom.
As part of our commitment to supporting aspiring and newly appointed Non-Executive Directors (NEDs), we are excited to launch The Boardroom Path podcast. This new series offers practical advice and valuable insights from leading figures in the board advisory and NED world.
In each episode, we will explore how to make a successful transition into the boardroom, where to focus your time and energy, and how to be most effective as a board member. The goal is to equip you with the tools and strategies needed to build a successful career as an NED, all while reflecting on how you can make a meaningful impact in the boardroom.

Episode 32: Is Your Board Actually Fit for Purpose?
What separates a board that merely complies from one that is genuinely fit for purpose?
In this episode of The Boardroom Path, host Ralph Grayson speaks with Sam Allen, founder of Sam Allen Associates and an accredited board performance practitioner, about why external board effectiveness reviews are a strategic advantage rather than a regulatory chore.
Sam explains how a rigorous review measures behaviour as well as governance, surfacing where boards are misaligned on strategy, core competence and key risks. She makes the case for assessing whether a board has the right skills for where the business is going, not just where it has been, and why courage and curiosity matter more than airtime.
