Board Effectiveness
Our Board effectiveness solutions are fully customised and structured to be scalable from effective self-assessment to comprehensive external objective evaluation of the effectiveness of the Board, Commitees and its Members.
Purposeful Board Renewal
Most Boards still follow a replacement strategy; our approach and software app allow boards to aspire to, and plan for, a long term future state related to strategic imperatives and short term departures.
Strategic CEO Succession
Our philosophy is that CEO succession should start on the day of appointment and therefore should be based on proper process, with both an internal and external view.
CEO & EXCO Evaluation
The full Board is accountable for the effectiveness of the CEO and the EXCO; therefore the whole Board should be involved in a structured way, especially regarding the non-financial aspects of the roles.
Board Advisory Services
Our extensive experience and insights allow us to assist Boards in all aspects of the challenges they are facing.
