How to get more value out of your board meetings
If you think that board members experience their competencies to be fully leveraged or that the senior executives perceive the board to add significant value, then think again. Our numerous years of working with boards and senior executives tell us that all boards have untapped potential.
Therefore, we have developed a highly focused and engaging session where board members are put to work. Using a simple yet effective structure, we facilitate a discussion around how to set the right agenda, tap into board members’ and senior executives’ experiences, and avoid falling into psychological traps.

How to make better board decisions
Are you considering how your board can become better at making the right decisions without being swayed by how options are presented to you by the senior executives?
As we have had the pleasure of observing a significant number of board meetings, we know that boards (like most people) lack a solid decision-making toolbox and fall prey to group thinking, psychological traps, and various biases. Research shows that when making “good” decisions, process matters more than analysis by a factor of six. Still, boards and senior executives spend much more effort on the analysis than ensuring a solid and sufficient process. The superb analysis is useless unless the decision process gives a fair hearing. As all non-executives and senior executives want to make the best possible decisions (“the core of exemplary leadership”) and that it is easier said than done, we have pulled together a focused seminar based on well-acknowledged research about how you can improve the board’s decision process and better safeguard the organization’s future.

How to become a board who is on top of the organization’s talent management and succession planning

To make the board better equipped to ensure leadership talent so that the company has the competencies to execute its strategy, we offer a focused seminar for the board or the nomination committee, shedding light on what questions to ask the Group HR and the CEO, how to ensure high-quality in the succession planning and talent pipeline, measure progress, ensuring retention and do regular high-level reviews.
