Board Effectiveness
Building boards fit for the future
Boards have become a company’s moral compass. Going beyond mere compliance, they now set the tone on everything from social responsibility and sustainability to diversity and ethics. At the same time, corporate boards must champion innovation with force to ensure their organizations are fit for the future.
Heidrick & Struggles has built and advised the boards of many of the world’s best-known and most respected companies. Amid a rapidly changing landscape, we share our unique understanding of board dynamics and the purpose and role boards play to motivate and unify an organization to catalyze long-term performance. By asking difficult questions, we facilitate critical conversations that lead to actionable insights and a clear path forward.
