Board Effectiveness
Boards face unprecedented demands, balancing climate change, ESG reporting, DE&I initiatives, and advances in AI and technology. The best boards focus on shaping the future and maintaining performance by partnering with management, regularly reviewing governance structures, and enhancing directors’ capabilities to align with evolving trends. This is why Board Effectiveness is crucial.

CEO Development
Developing leaders who can both transform and perform is crucial as the role of a CEO becomes increasingly complex. Today’s businesses need Enterprise Leaders—agile, impactful individuals who create value across the entire ecosystem and balance the needs of people, profit, and the planet. These leaders, who excel in ESG, are rare but can be developed. Our research-based framework and CEO development programs cultivate the mindsets and capabilities needed to transform CEOs into Enterprise Leaders, enabling them to make a purposeful impact within and beyond their enterprises.

Executive Compensation & Governance

Leaders’ roles have evolved, and their compensation should too. Many pay programs harm trust by pitting executives against employees. A one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work; each business requires a unique compensation strategy that reflects its culture, performance drivers, and regulatory environment.

We can help create fair, simple, clear, and trusted compensation programs. When executive pay aligns with leaders’ real roles and responsibilities, as well as your strategic intent, you can attract the right talent and reward behaviors that support your purpose and goals.

Franchisee Board Support

The franchise director of a franchisee-funded board ensures that franchisees’ interests and investments are effectively represented and managed. They act as liaisons between franchisees and the franchisor, oversee the allocation of funds, and advocate for franchisees’ needs. By fostering communication, compliance, and continuous improvement, the director helps maintain a cohesive and successful franchise network. This frees the full-time franchisees to focus on their own unit economics, knowing their franchise director will champion their concerns with the franchisor.
