Directors rarely receive a clear read on how their own behaviour shapes board decisions.
DirectorLens is a confidential, scenario-based reflection tool for directors. Work through 24 boardroom decisions and receive a private report describing your governance style - how you tend to balance challenge, deference, oversight, involvement and execution when the choices are real.

The pattern directors recognise
Most directors recognise these moments - even if they would never describe them this way in a formal review.
A major decision moves forward with little debate. Reopening it would feel costly. Months later, that silence is remembered as agreement.
A director steps in to help management - refining a proposal, sharpening a plan. It feels useful at the time. Later, accountability for the decision becomes unclear.
A compliance update is thorough. Assurance is strong. The board feels comfortable. The strategic assumptions underneath remain untested.
A concern is noticed but left unspoken. The timing seems wrong. The relationship matters. Challenge is held back, with the intention of returning to it later. Often, that moment does not come.
None of these behaviours feel unwise at the time. Most feel reasonable, even responsible. They are shaped by context: trust, fatigue, social dynamics, reputational risk.
Directors usually recognise these patterns privately. What is missing is a structured way to examine them without exposure.
What you receive
For $395 ex GST, DirectorLens includes:
- access to 24 governance scenarios
- a confidential individual Director Style Report
- a style profile across five governance patterns: Deferential, Compliance-Focused, Oversight, Intensely-Involved and Execution-Inclined
- reflection prompts for private review, mentoring, coaching or Chair conversations
The diagnostic takes approximately 45 minutes. Your report is yours alone unless you choose to share it.
Directors may claim time spent as self-directed CPD, subject to their organisation’s requirements.
When directors use DirectorLens
DirectorLens is most useful when behaviour, role boundaries and authority are already being examined, or soon will be.
Directors typically use it:
- before a strategy offsite or board reset
- after joining a new board
- when a new Chair or CEO is appointed
- when preparing for a board evaluation
- during founder transition or sale preparation
- when Chair–CEO friction needs neutral language
- before an external review, audit cycle or transaction
- before a significant decision where the director wants a clearer read on their own governance posture
Chairs and Company Secretaries may also use DirectorLens as a private preparation tool before more difficult board conversations.
Add the Full Spectrum Report + Facilitation Pack
For $299 ex GST, the Full Spectrum upgrade adds:
- a full description of all five governance styles
- a style interaction map showing where board alignment often breaks down
- facilitation guidance for offsites, board evaluation conversations and Chair–CEO resets
- Chair guidance for raising behavioural patterns without making the conversation personal
Individual reports remain private. The Full Spectrum content gives Chairs, governance professionals and facilitators a structured reference for group discussion without requiring any director to disclose their own profile.
