BOARD ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT
AUDEO performs board evaluations with a strong emphasis on an independent and nonpartisan approach, firmly based on best practice and The European Corporate Governance Institute’s (ECGI) standards. Within the frame of competitive context and current strategy, we evaluate board structure and governance, key competencies, internal functioning and additionally board resilience and disruptive power. The quality of the relationship between the board and the CEO/ executive committee is also always examined and addressed.
AUDEO offers a customized evaluation of the board, emphasizing an actionable and forward-looking analysis of findings. The analysis itself contains both qualitative and quantitative elements, enabling relevant design of future board development processes and requirements. We work closely with nomination and election committees, advising on future board competencies and composition when required.
Leadership dialogues and individual support
The leaders we work with individually wants our help to gain a greater sense of self-trust, to be even more clear sighted and unafraid, and to dare seek perspectives that can be hard to spot on your own.
We work with individual leaders in their quest to create great strategies and to make them work in highly demanding and complex environments – not because we tell them what to do; but because we help them develop new capacities, master mental tools, and espouse the mindset required to innovate and execute.
Leadership team development
We design and develop customized team processes that rest firmly on research based best practice and the team's current and emerging business challenges. We constantly seek to mirror our client team's ambition for agility and therefore design flexible and amendable processes.
We work with matrixed, cross-functional and virtual teams and are keenly interested in exploring new viewpoints to both experienced CxO's and emerging leaders as to how different types of teams may need different flavors of leadership. Additionally, we encourage the exploration of digital tools in team efficiency processes – whilst never losing sight of our belief that nothing replaces the value of a face-to-face conversation.
