There is a steadily increasing focus on the role and behaviour of boards of directors. Our consultancy services focus in particular on three of the areas which today’s owners and chairmen of boards of directors are concerned about:
1. COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORSWhat competencies does the company need from the board? What competencies does the board actually have?
|
An interview with each board member is conducted. The interview uncovers the professional background and experience, as well as competencies. A report on the total competencies of the board is then worked out, and these competencies are subsequently evaluated in relation to present and future requirements.
Based on the need for new specific competencies, the Executive Search process is initiated in order to find the right board members. In most respects, this process is identical with a traditional Executive Search.
This area is difficult to categorize. Often the discussion will be the beginning of a Management Audit, a Coaching Process, or an Executive Search.
