Leadership Assessment
Through our global alliance with Alto Partners we are able to support our clients needs in management appraisal and evaluation.
Board Evaluation and Development
Ensuring a balanced composition on the Board is not sufficient to ensure the desired performance or the expected corporate governance behavior against the current global standards. The working processes and the quality of the relationships between the Directors are also key factors for good governance practice.
We have developed a robust model for evaluating Board effectiveness and for using this information as a basis for planning systematic Board development initiatives. Our underlying methodology relies on in-depth discussions with each Director to solicit their input around a series of topics, which have been identified as critical to the effective functioning of the Board. The process is challenging and provides a thorough review of the most important issues. It adds significantly more value than an approach designed to satisfy governance guidelines, which may not really impact on Board functioning. This diagnosis is supported by specific recommendations that can help the Chairman to deliver improved Board performance. By providing an objective diagnosis, we enable the Board to reflect on current practice and focus on improvement.
Each assignment is led by a Partner who is experienced in working at Board level. We recognize that each Board is different and that factors such as the stage of its development, size, the personal style of the Chairman and the sector in which it operates, will influence the approach to Board effectiveness and each assignment is designed to reflect this. We pride ourselves on giving exceptional service and meeting each individual client’s needs.
Executive Management Team Review
With the increasing challenges faced by companies and the frequent need to deliver significant change, many companies have adopted top management team reviews and individual assessment as a way to help deliver competitive edge and to achieve long-term success. Our Executive Management Team Review is a structured process designed to help top executives assess the quality and suitability of the management team and/or individual executives, in order to provide in-depth insight into their performance level, capabilities and development needs.
