The role of a director has grown in complexity. Not only do you serve as fiduciaries for all shareholders, oversee company performance, and approve major policy and management decisions but you participate in strategic planning and CEO selection and succession. We take you through a customized training session covering duty of care and duty of loyalty as well as oversight of risk management.
Candidate assessment for industry expertise.
Boards are looking for specific industry experience. We review your career experience to detail your expertise with a focus on what industries present the best opportunities. We provide an unbiased evaluation of the ways you can contribute to various industries and sectors. Serving as a board director is an opportunity to contribute industry, sector and leadership expertise to another firm.
Development of a board CV.
You need a very specific board CV to share with recruiters, chairs of nomination and governance committees, board candidate databases as well as your own network. We work with you to craft a board resume that highlights the experiences that boards are looking for in potential directors as well as those intangibles that make you unique as a resource to a company.
Strategy session to identify target boards.
However talented and experienced you are, you do not fit every board. We help you assess the industries and businesses where your expertise has significant value. We then develop a game plan to help you to get to know the companies as well as the members and chairs of the nomination and governance committees, the people who are most likely to look for you.
Board interview coaching.
A board interview is different from any other job interview. Board Tutor helps you prepare for conversations with recruiters or the members or the chairmen of the nomination and governance committee. The interviewer is not assessing your strengths as a manager but your readiness to oversee the company, what you understand about protecting shareholder value, and how your skills advance the board’s capabilities.
