Boards are under increasing scrutiny. They must pay serious attention to governance issues and demonstrate transparency, accountability and integrity to investors and the public. Increasingly, they are working with trusted, expert advisers.
Our consultants provide practical and impartial advice to chairmen, CEOs and nominating/governance committees on implementing best practices and compliance with regulations and legislation.
We often work with clients over a period of years, restructuring entire boards or enhancing approaches to governance. We consult with clients on a wide range of issues, including:
- CEO transition
- Mergers or acquisitions
- Succession planning
- Best practices
- Board composition
- Board evaluation
- Board transition
- CEO evaluation
- Committee structuring
- Director compensation
- Director orientation
Our many publications, such as the Spencer Stuart Board Index, Cornerstone of the Board and Point of View, offer insights into the changes and trends taking place on today’s boards.
