An effective board of directors understands how a company creates value, where potential risks lie, and what the strategic considerations are. Our research suggests that the strongest boards spend more time interacting with management teams about performance and strategy, supporting CEOs without overfocusing on fiduciary activities.

We help clients achieve an effective collaboration between management and the board by facilitating strategic discussions, helping prepare CEO succession models, and supporting redesign of board reports and materials. We help boards improve their capabilities so they can better evaluate resource allocation, offer robust feedback and incisive debate of alternative strategies, assess trends and uncertainties, and work with CEOs to create greater value.
