helping SME businesses, public and not-for-profit organisation thrive
Hello, I’m John Kerner.
I’m an independent IoD Chartered Director who founded D7 Advisers to help SME private, public and not-for-profit organisations make better quality decisions. Better decisions that reduce the impacts on people, our planet and financial prosperity.
In the UK we don’t let unqualified doctors make decisions about our health (as the consequences can be fatal), but we regularly have unqualified Board Directors making critical decisions about the health of entities they are legally responsible for.
Poor decisions often have long-term consequences, which I can help you, your company or organisation avoid.
D7...the 7-duties of a Company Director.
I apply them through an assured blend of military, business and third-sector board-related knowledge, skills and experience…in ways most appropriate to your needs.
The D7 duties sit at the heart of what I do - helping founders, owners, Boards and their organisations improve insight and oversight, overcome challenges, improve performance, avoid crisis, navigate distress and grow value.
As a portfolio professional, I can tailor my services, engagement models and working patterns to suit the needs of my clients...and if you're unsure of your requirements I can also help you discover them.
