We understand how private company boards drive performance.
Learn best practices in private company governance
We are the founders of Canada's Best Private Boards, a first-of-its-kind, national and annual awards program that recognizes the impact of governance on the performance of private companies. Through the program we have learned how leading organizations are driving performance through governance, and we share the benefit of those insights to help you build a high-performing board.
Build clear and implementable succession plans
In award-winning private company governance, succession is a key board responsibility and treated as a strategic imperative. We help boards develop clear, multi-layered plans with defined roles and timelines, as well as other key pieces including emergency succession plans, development plans for next-gen leaders, transitional leadership structures and external talent pipelines.
Benchmark private company compensation
Compensation firms traditionally focus on publicly-traded or enterprise-level organizations. Through our mid-market private sector search practice and the Canada’s Best Private Boards program, we can advise you on the latest trends in compensation for executives and independent directors and help you build a competitive realistic package, including more complex pieces like long term incentive, to help attract the best talent to your executive team or to your board.
