We are the architects of Boardroom Consultants, a practice group exclusively devoted to board consultation and search. For more than 20 years, the professionals in this group have utilized a distinctive, consultative approach to challenge boards to continuously improve.
Unique Resource
As part of CTPartners, this practice group enjoys the expansive resources of a global firm while retaining the nimbleness and independence of a small boutique. Consciously limiting our size lets us access the broadest spectrum of candidates and remain free of concerns influencing larger firms’ delivery.
We are distinguished by the number of long-term relationships we have with leading organizations. Our roster continues to include many of our original clients.
Innovative Differences
Full Continuum of Services
Our mission: To make good boards better. And we have, with innovations that address the interconnected processes vital to superior governance and oversight success.
Board Assessment
We conduct board assessments by personally interviewing each board member in order to elicit candid comments leading to stronger composition and overall board effectiveness. Our in-depth assessments make directors focus on their priorities and be aware of issues that can impact future results. Boards will know if they are up to the task of dealing with a crisis before it occurs and make better use of face time at meetings.
Director Recruitment
Communicating what clients need to hear has earned their trust. As a result, we believe that our board placements enjoy a very high retention rate, and remain active contributors to their organizations.
Succession Planning
A fluid process, we push boards to keep succession planning at the forefront. Together we constantly review the board’s capabilities in relation to the present and future.
By virtue of our close relationships and adherence to strictest standards of confidentiality, we are uniquely capable of speaking for the whole board about succession planning.
Board Consultants Advisory Board
Established by the professionals in this practice group in the early ‘90s, the Board Consultants Advisory Board is one of the industry's leading due diligence networks. Comprised of 14 former CEOs and directors currently serving on multiple boards, these individuals provide us with the most insightful perspectives on board service, challenges, and best practices.
To augment our expertise, we obtain independent opinion about candidates’ track records from Advisory Board members and others, testing whether individuals meet the challenges facing new directors. This greatly broadens our access to qualified individuals and helps to ensure an optimal fit.
Active Contributors to Governance
In the past 20 years, changes in governance have been possible because of our devotion to continuously improving clients’ boards. In addition to published works and leading roundtable discussions, we host an Annual Institute on director and committee independence to help enhance the quality of board governance.
