SUCCESSFUL STRATEGY: THE NEED FOR THE RIGHT PEOPLE
The evaluation identifies that, relative to the current position of the company, its challenges and future strategy; the board requires a new member with appropriate skills to augment or change membership. You may have an excessive leaning toward a particular skill or mindset, sectoral experience or personal quality that requires greater complimentary diversity. Alternatively, your board may have a skill balance more suited to past circumstances that have been successfully navigated. There is a requirement to source the talent you identified as meeting the current challenges. This is not easy.
BOARD COMPOSITION IS KEY TO SUCCESS
In our experience, more than a third of core board operating issues identified relate to people and composition matters. If boards do not have the breadth and depth of skills relative to its strategy or position; it severely inhibits the ability to be effective and to demonstrate effective leadership.
WHAT BOARD MATTERS INTERNATIONAL DO AND DO NOT DO
It is important to point out Board Matters International, like Quinn Associates before it, is not a recruitment consultancy and we do not seek CV’s nor do we accept them.
Because we value our relationships, we provide a complimentary service to our established clients; for instance, we can help identify from our extensive network of proven board directors people who may fit a skill profile. As we will have an understanding of board requirement, we only identify or suggest those from our network who will meet that and have both time and willingness to potentially serve on your board.
As we do not accept an unsolicited CV, we will not suggest those who are not known to us.
WHY BOARD MATTERS INTERNATIONAL? THE BOARDROOM EQUATION
Throughout, we answer the question as to why you should consider and engage us as a service partner. Because our focus is on a few key services that we execute well and being discreet, our specialism in providing strategic advisory and external board evaluation services. To conclude, see our slide reel below that shows what we call “the Boardroom Equation”; a summary of our services and how it equates to better and more effective Board and senior leadership effectiveness. There is no rocket science to what we do; however providing a means of reflection for you and holding what we describe as an “honest mirror” to your own practices, our services should result in improved outcome for you.
