The State of the Market Report has been a pivotal resource for the advisory board sector since its launch in 2019. Published every two years, it provides critical insights, questions assumptions, and tracks emerging trends to shape best practices. It is used by government bodies, multinationals, universities, the business sector and start-ups and scale-ups around the globe, empowering people to explore advisory boards with confidence, even if they’ve never had one before. In this Q&A, our Founder Louise Broekman gives a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the making of the report, its impact on the sector, and why a key tenet of the research is to challenge — rather than defend — the sector’s standing.

For those advisory board practitioners starting 2025 with their sights set on building a portfolio career, this one’s for you! Instead of a traditional full-time role, executives and experienced professionals can pursue an exciting portfolio career by taking on multiple advisory or board-level engagements. Similar to investing, you can start a portfolio career at any time, but it comes with its own set of challenges. Brendan Logue, our General Manager for Advisory Talent, has guided hundreds of executives in planning their futures and explains: “At the Advisory Board Centre, we see firsthand how ambitious professionals need both strategy and resilience to bridge the gap between vision and reality. Our goal is to equip them with the insights and tools to make that transition successful.” In this thought leadership piece, we draw on insights from the Advisory Board Centre’s research division, the Global Research Council, to explore the 4 key challenges in building a portfolio career — and practical steps to overcome them.

Connecting with each other allows us to share our collective expertise worldwide and raise the standard of the advisory sector.
