Hands-on, practical governance support and advice for Boards and executive teams.
Influence Global provides specialist and generalist Board operational support to a range of emerging to established organisations.
Whilst the work may often be practical and administrative - taking minutes, maintaining action registers and updating board policies - it also benefits from our wealth of governance knowledge and experience in the for-purpose sector.
The work is tailored to the specific needs of the varied organisations - including Not-for Profit Companies (limited by Guarantee), Incorporated Associations and Non-trading Co-operatives - to provide pragmatic, fit-for-purpose support in meeting relevant compliance requirements.

Our tools and methodologies
Our bespoke methodologies and tools are distilled from over two decades of hands-on experience working with and for the social change sector.
Whilst there is no one size fits all approach to what your organisation will do, these tools give you the evidence-based structure you need for success.
Free board templates
To support your board administration and governance.
Accessible and adaptable administrative tools and templates are a simple way to improve board effectiveness and efficiency. We produce a range of customised tools for clients - but often, an 'off the shelf' template is all you'll need!
That's why we're sharing our favourites.
- This Board Calendar will help you plan, stay focused and ensure all your governance duties are considered.
- This Action Register template is easy to read, helps you prioritise tasks and keeps a historical record of all your achievements.

IOIOI Framework
Inputs. Outputs. Influence. Outcomes. Impact.
The IOIOI Framework articulates what you need to know, measure and monitor when delivering any strategy or campaign designed to influence social change.
The IOIOI Framework sets a structure against which to plan and strategise, develop theories of change, develop performance targets, monitor and evaluate, and report progress.
Influencer Engagement Matrix
Monitoring the influence of your advocacy and stakeholder engagement work.
The Influencer Engagement Matrix is a monitoring and evaluation tool that assesses progress in influencing the knowledge, attitudes and behaviour of key target audiences. It means you can track progress towards your end goal, even if that goal (say, a policy change) is still a long way off. It uses ‘science’ (process, data) to support the ‘art’ of advocacy and influencer engagement.
Here's an example of what it looks like – but of course, it needs to be customised to the individual’s you are targeting. We’ve also developed assessment and reporting templates for reviewing your progress.
Values-Action Gap Analysis
How to increase your supporter engagement.
The Values-Action Gap is the difference between someone who cares about your cause and someone who is a sustained, ongoing support.
This model identifies all the critical requirements that you need to transition your public supporters into ongoing, active advocates. It articulates eight intersecting requirements for sustained engagement and helps teams to identify and address any gaps in their supporter engagement plans.
Mindful Influence
Micro-meditation and mindfulness for the workplace.
Meditation and mindfulness practice is a proven way improve clarity, focus and productivity, as well as help relieve stress and improve mental health.
The Mindful Influence Framework is a scalable, modern approach that uses continuous learning methodologies and equips participants with the skills to guide their own practice.
It is theoretical grounding for a fully flexible workplace program. It can be applied as a semi-structured course or drop-in sessions as part of workforce wellbeing initiatives, or as one-off team building exercises, integrated into all-staff days, leadership training, planning days, and the like.
The Framework covers diverse topics including:
- Micro meditations and mindfulness techniques for workplace settings
- Refocusing attention and managing multiple priorities
- Techniques to reset, re-energise and refocus
- Meditating with thoughts, emotions, sounds, distractions, movement
- Options for incorporating more traditional spiritual meditations, if desired by participants (but the course is secular and includes no spiritual teachings)
Using interpersonal discussion and reflection, the Mindful Influence approach helps participants understand and manage their own behaviours, as well as identify times and ways to bring meditation and mindfulness into their working routine, to avoid stress and burnout.
