What are our clients looking for?
• As Directors, they feel a duty to define the shareholder's interest, and to ensure that all management decisions, policies and controls serve that interest.
• They know that good governance relies on selecting top executives of high integrity and competence, dedicated to building shareholder value, in a market where competition is fierce for proven leaders.
• As Directors, they face rising demands to perform their governance and succession roles more forcefully, professionally, and visibly.
• They seek a deeper understanding of their responsibilities, and new approaches that will strengthen their ability to fulfill them.
What do we offer?
We guide Directors and their Committees to design or renew processes for succession and governance. We assist Directors to strive for the best practices of professional Boards, while tailoring those practices to what is unique about their company and its Board. We help them implement these changes and evaluate and manage their own performance as a Board.
What distinguishes our approach?
We allow our clients to confront reality. We all know that Directors face conflicting loyalties and expectations every day. For example, Directors must seek the very best candidate to lead a business, and then subject that person to constant scrutiny on behalf of the shareholder. Directors recruited to give supportive advice or to share business contacts must also question, challenge and assess management decisions and actions. We counsel Directors to define and address these conflicts - explicitly. We also help them face up to the Director's reality of scarce time, driven by rising demand and limited supply.
How do we set you up for success?
• We guide you in clarifying your objectives for governance and succession that result in practical, not theoretical, approaches and outcomes.
• We support your learning about developments in Board practices everywhere.
• We help you set and contrast the roles of Directors, Board Committees, the full Board, and top management, in each aspect of governance and succession.
• We give you principles to guide your choices, especially where conflicts arise.
• We promote an open and shared understanding between Board & top management, to build effectiveness and reduce unnecessary sources of tension.
