Board Due Diligence

We work with investors and corporate clients at moments where clarity around leadership is particularly important, including following an investment or injection of capital, ahead of or following an acquisition, during succession planning, or when assessing the effectiveness and future composition of a Board.

Our approach can help clients understand:

• Leadership capability -he experience, strengths and capabilities of the existing leadership team.
• Board composition – whether the Board has the right balance of skills, experience, perspectives and sector knowledge for the organisation’s current and future requirements.
• Individual motivations and drivers – what motivates key leaders and how this may influence decision making and performance.
• Team dynamics – how individuals work together, where strengths are complementary and where potential gaps or tensions may exist
• Culture and behaviours – the alignment between leadership behaviours, organisational culture and strategic objectives.
• Succession and future capability – the depth of leadership talent and potential succession considerations.
• External benchmarking – how the leadership team and Board compare with relevant organisations and the wider talent market.

Our assessment process is bespoke to each client’s objectives and can incorporate structured leadership assessment, referencing, market mapping and psychometric assessment. Where appropriate, we can draw on both Saville and Insights methodologies to provide additional insight into individual leadership profiles, motivations, preferences and team dynamics.

The result is an evidence-based view of the leadership capability within a business, helping Boards and investors make informed decisions around composition, succession, development and future leadership requirements.

We also offer our clients Psychometric and Ability Testing to gather information on leadership profiles and preferences: Psychometric Testing.

Beyond testing and assessment, we offer additional People Advisory Services to support our clients: Board Succession Planning | Talent Mapping & Business Intelligence | Executive Compensation Consulting.
