Consulting and Facilitation
Strategic Planning
We work with boards and executives to identify, adopt, articulate and implement winning strategies through analysis, process development, education, facilitation, and implementation. We know that a well-articulated strategic plan provides your organization a roadmap for applying the board’s vision in daily life and helps harness collective efforts towards common strategic objectives.
CEO Oversight & Evaluation
We support boards to plan, monitor and evaluate CEOs through rigorous and fair processes. We work with boards to provide developmental feedback in a constructive process ensuring the CEO has clear and actionable direction. Boards will be able to link CEO performance expectations and compensation directly with strategy, and effectively assess CEO competencies.
CEO Compensation & Total Rewards
We help boards build a competitive and effective total rewards package for the CEO. This includes developing or updating a compensation philosophy, short-and-long-term incentive pay programs, and other key elements of the total rewards package. We guide boards through a process for metrics setting using a risk-based approach to ensure these programs drive annual results and long-term value creation.
CEO Succession
We support boards to navigate the critical period of CEO transition. This includes preparing key inputs to the process like up-to-date job profiles, including key competencies, employment contracts, and Recruitment Committee terms of reference. We help boards build recruitment expertise to ensure they are ready for this important decision.
Mergers & Acquisitions
We help boards evaluate whether to pursue mergers. We also facilitate the dealer breaker conversations between two or more boards. This includes decisions on CEO selection, board chair role, board composition, executive team, brand name, and head office location. We will work with other third parties to augment the due-diligence process. Our team also helps with communication plans to enable a positive vote.
Improving Board Efficacy
We improve the effectiveness of boards by conducting assessments in key governance areas, cultivating best practices, and supporting the implementation of new dynamics and systematic processes.
Board Assessments
We conduct various assessments for boards. From customizing board assessments to facilitating action plan development, we deliver director self assessments, peer evaluations, committee evaluations, and overall Board evaluations.
Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)
We work with boards and executives to facilitate the development of novel ERM frameworks, as well as analyze and improve all aspects of your risk management program.
