Engagement Example:
A board of directors needed to conduct a CEO assessment that was thorough, insightful, and could engage both executives and board members while providing meaningful feedback for leadership development.
Engagement Example
We partnered with the board’s Human Capital Committee to design and run a seamless CEO assessment process. Working closely with the committee chair and senior leaders, we ensured the process was comprehensive, professional, and delivered actionable insights.
Engagement Example:
Board members, executives, and the CEO unanimously reported that the assessment process was more effective and valuable than previous approaches. The engagement delivered significant improvements in feedback quality, clarity of results, and overall governance effectiveness.
Engagement Example:
Conducted an independent board evaluation and proposed key improvements for the board and committee processes composition of talent for the future and collaboration of the board and management on strategic thinking. The company is pleased with their new board and committee changes, their new board chair and the strong collaboration between the board and management.
