Do you need help finding the right leaders for your business?
In today’s world, boards play a key role in the successful oversight and productivity of an organization. The identification and appointment of new board members begins this process, but ongoing and diligent attention to board assessment plays a critical role in long term success.
Strong boards recognize that self-assessment and management are some of the most crucial aspects of effectiveness. Organizations thrive when their boards thrive. It is the role of the Board of Directors to continually reflect on its own process and develop strategies to become more effective.
The business landscape and economy have changed dramatically in recent years. Strong international competition, dropping legal and cultural entry barriers, rising geopolitical instability, the growth in unemployment, and the collapse of historical monopolistic practices – all of these elements indicate that any board that chooses to ignore these changes or elects a “proactive wait and see strategy” is simply being unrealistic. Proactive, ongoing board assessment is an essential component for any business model.
