Executives Unlimited is skilled in the creation, evaluation, and transition of Boards, including the replacement of and search for new Board members.
Assessing Board Strength
Companies must periodically assess their Board composition. In evaluating the composition and contributions of a Board, there are a number of issues to address including:
- Is your Board capable of addressing the strategic direction of the company that ultimately leads the company to the next level of success?
- Does your Board include a variety of skill sets and viewpoints which will provide a broad range of opinions and approaches to problems?
- Does your Board have the accounting, audit, risk management and financial expertise to address these issues in today’s market?
- Does your Board address diversity issues including ethnic, gender and even geography, which may represent critical elements of your company’s business environment?
Commitment to the Board
When expanding a Board or replacing a retiring member, determining his/her time availability and level of commitment is of utmost importance. Many experienced Board members resign because of the increased time obligation serving on a Board requires in conjunction with existing professional obligations. The proper fit avoids the need for frequent replacements which builds member confidence.
