Board Advisory

Boards are navigating a new strategic landscape. Geopolitical volatility, rapid advances in AI, and heightened stakeholder scrutiny have pushed reputation to the forefront as a boardroom issue.

With reputation accounting for 26% 1 of corporate market value in leading organisations, it’s no longer a functional concern to be delegated.

Boards are increasingly seeking directors with deep experience in corporate affairs and other reputation-critical backgrounds – individuals who bring judgement, external perspective and credibility at moments of pressure.
Our board advisory work focuses on search and selection for reputation-relevant board roles. We support organisations in appointing directors and committee chairs whose expertise aligns with specific governance priorities, stakeholder expectations and emerging risk areas.

This includes advising on board composition where reputation, ESG, public policy or complex external engagement is central to value creation or risk management – whether that is appointing an independent director with relevant experience, strengthening oversight through committee roles or building a longer-term pipeline of board-ready leaders.

Our work is discreet, highly targeted and grounded in a clear understanding of how reputation is governed at board level – and the calibre of judgement required around the table when it matters most.

Our board search approach

Targeted director identification

We draw on deep market insight and trusted networks to identify board candidates with the specific expertise your organisation needs – from industry and international experience to technology, ESG governance and reputation stewardship. Rigorous, bespoke research enables us to surface high-calibre directors who may not be visible through conventional channels.

Board dynamics and strategic fit

Effective boards depend on more than individual capability. We assess how candidates will contribute within the context of your existing board, considering decision-making, influencing style, independence of thought and ability to provide constructive challenge, alongside experience and technical expertise.

Rigorous evaluation and selection

Our process combines structured assessment, tailored candidate profiling and discreet engagement. We support you throughout the appointment journey – from shaping the brief and shortlisting through to interviews, referencing and final decision-making – ensuring confidence at every stage.

Pipeline and succession planning

Board appointments are most effective when viewed over the long term. We help you anticipate future governance needs by building a pipeline of potential directors, supporting continuity, renewal and readiness as board requirements evolve.
