Engagements
Real outcomes from boards that committed to rigorous, evidence-based assessment. Client names have been anonymised for confidentiality.
CEO Succession & Cultural DNA
The Challenge
The board was deeply divided over an internal vs. external successor, with differing views on the company's risk culture.
The Solution
We deployed Hogan Assessments across the top 15 executives and the entire board, mapping the friction points and identifying a 'safe but bold' archetype.
The Outcome
Unanimous alignment on an internal candidate, saving an estimated $4M in search fees and 8 months of transitional disruption.
Cognitive Diversity Rebalancing
The Challenge
A highly credentialed medical board was missing critical commercial opportunities due to groupthink.
The Solution
Using the HBDI® framework, we demonstrated a severe over-indexing in analytical thinking and a complete vacuum in experimental/strategic thinking.
The Outcome
The board retired three members and appointed two non-medical strategic directors, leading to a 40% growth in regional market share.
M&A Cultural Integration
The Challenge
Post-merger integration was stalling at the board level due to massive clashes in governance styles.
The Solution
We facilitated a 3-day structured integration retreat using our proprietary conflict-resolution methodology to map the unspoken assumptions of both legacy boards.
The Outcome
Creation of a unified governance charter and a functional, cohesive oversight body within 90 days.
