For more than 20 years our Board Services Practice has provided impartial advice to chairmen, CEOs and nominating/governance committees and helped boards around the world identify and recruit outside directors.
We provide board counsel and recruitment, partnering with a diverse group of clients — from leading and mid-sized corporations to smaller, regional companies and not-for-profit organizations — helping them strengthen their board structure and improve performance.
Our consultants have served in senior executive roles at leading companies and many have first-hand board experience. They possess detailed knowledge of the latest governance regulations and best practices around the world.
The practice conducts board-level assignments around the world. In the past year alone, we have conducted more than 400 director searches.
In addition to our search work, 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
We continue to publish our research on the latest issues and trends on governance matters, including the annual Spencer Stuart Board Index. We also partner with leading business schools to offer seminars and conferences related to board governance.
