Board intelligence
See where your board is thin, and when each seat opens.
We track capability coverage against rotation timing, so nominating and governance committees can plan a search early rather than backfill under deadline.
- Capability coverage
- We map each director's operating experience against the mandates your committees carry, so thin coverage surfaces early.
- Rotation windows
- Term limits, planned retirements, and committee rotations tracked together, so you know when each seat opens.
The same intelligence layer sits behind our executive search work, including pay context for comparable boards.

Partnership process
Four stages, and how long each one takes.
Typical elapsed weeks for a board search, from the first committee meeting to handover.
Weeks 1-2
Mandate intake

Weeks 3-4
Succession planning analysis
We read your board matrix against the next three years of rotations. If a second seat is about to open, you find out now, before the search narrows.
Weeks 5-12
Shortlist governance review
We interview and reference every candidate before you see a name. The shortlist arrives with the independence and conflict checks already done.
Weeks 13-26
Post-selection support
We handle the introductions to management and committee chairs. We check in through the first 90 days, then hand over.
