Empowering
Boards to be Impactful

Deep expertise in group dynamics and governance culture - helping boards and executives thrive in change, disruption and uncertainty.

Guiding you from
stuck to stellar

Boards are central to strategic direction and organisational oversight, yet they often operate under pressure from disruption, hidden dynamics, fractured alignment, and decision-making fatigue. At Board Synergy, we cut through surface-level performance to get beneath what’s really driving—or hindering—board effectiveness.

Who we serve

Board Synergy works with boards and executive leadership teams who recognise that effective governance goes beyond compliance and fiduciary responsibility. It requires the courage to embrace change, the discipline to set a deliberate tone from the top, and the foresight to cultivate a high-performing culture that drives long-term organisational impact.

Because great boards
don’t just govern,
they build legacies.

Your Board’s challenges,
our expert solutions

Is your board navigating a critical transition, managing internal friction, or seeking to amplify its strategic impact? While governance frameworks are essential, they can sometimes obscure deeper interpersonal, cultural, or structural challenges that limit effectiveness. At Board Synergy, we specialise in helping boards navigate these complexities with discretion, insight, and evidence-based solutions.

Whether enhancing decision-making, addressing hidden dynamics and dysfunction, conducting independent board reviews, or aligning leadership around a shared vision — we provide tailored support that strengthens board performance, improves cohesion, and fosters long-term organisational value.

The Board Synergy difference

What sets Board Synergy apart is our commitment to a bespoke, human-centred approach — one that is also strategically informed by best practices, grounded in rigorous research, and relentlessly focused on delivering measurable results for your board.

With over 20 years of experience and advanced qualifications including a PhD and Master’s in the behavioural sciences, Dr. Mravlek brings a rare depth of understanding in group dynamics, governance psychology, and human synergistics. Her ability to decode unspoken cues, emotional undercurrents, and relational tensions provides an unparalleled lens into the true rhythm of board performance — often missed by conventional reviews.

We approach each engagement with discretion and respect. Our review and advisory processes are designed to be thoughtful and constructive — enabling boards to reflect, learn, and grow. Rather than a clinical audit, we create space for open dialogue, trust-building, and genuine developmental insight.

Our methodology blends qualitative depth with quantitative rigour. Through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and validated survey tools, we deliver a 360° view of board performance — providing a clear, evidence-informed foundation for improvement.

We don’t offer off-the-shelf solutions. Every engagement is tailored to your board’s unique context, challenges, and strategic objectives — ensuring interventions are relevant, targeted, and sustainable.

Our network of highly skilled associates, particularly in the nuanced Aged Care sector, ensures comprehensive support and specialised insights when needed.
