One of the most significant assets of a company is a cohesive board consisting of talented, diverse, and experienced directors having the right mix of competencies, skills, and perspectives. This is particularly true during periods of rapid business change, digital disruption, evolving business models, and demanding investors and societal expectations.
For more than 50 years, Odgers Berndtson has been a trusted adviser to organizations worldwide. We implement an independent professional process to find the right chair or non-executive directors (NEDs). We consider the organization's specific objectives and challenges to:
- identify the skills gaps within the board,
- find directors with diverse mindsets and perspectives who are a good fit for the organization,
- build an ideal chair or NED candidate profile,
- develop a bespoke succession plan that considers the board's current composition and is aligned with the organization’s business strategy, and
- identify talented candidates from a global pool.
