Unique Challenges

Effective Governance is an independent, privately-owned consulting firm that delivers advice on corporate governance to clients in Australia and New Zealand.

The Australian firm formerly Competitive Dynamics was founded in 1998 by Professor Geoffrey Kiel an internationally recognised expert in corporate governance. The New Zealand practice was founded in 2006 by Kevin McCaffrey, a former partner in PricewaterhouseCoopers.

We combine research with practical methods developed in the field with clients over a twenty year period.

This covers the spectrum from small family companies, not-for-profits, government-owned corporations, statutory authorities, publicly listed companies and large multinationals. We believe that in order for governance to be effective it must be specifically tailored to the type of organisation and their industry dynamics.

That said, each will be at a different phase of their lifecycle and will have their individual challenges at a governance level. You can contact either of our offices for assistance in solving the unique governance challenges facing your organisation.
