SERVICES

Director Succession Planning

Directors leave for multiple reasons including term limits. Our processes result in an talent bench of pre-screened directors with diverse, yet relevant, backgrounds and expertise who can quickly add value when a board opening aris.

Orientation

Director effectiveness is amplified when there is clarity about key responsibilities, the styles and expertise of other Board members, and how to work effectively with the CEO. Targeted onboarding increases directors ability to contribute quickly.   

Facilitation of Planning & Development Sessions

An experienced external facilitator is critical when the board must address a difficult issue, realizes their culture could be improved, or needs all directors to be fully engaged. We design and facilitate effective Board planning and development sessions.    

Ensuring CEO Effectiveness

Recent research from the Corporate Executive Board found that 50 to 70% of CEOs fail in their first 18 months on the job.  Competitive Edge HR provides tested processes and facilitation to enable your Board to select a CEO who has the best set of skills, experience, and character to lead your organization.
