External Board effectiveness review:
Seven reasons to implement Board review every three years:
– Enhance relations within the Board and between the Board and top management,
– Improve processes within the Board (agenda, information, meetings),
– Make communication among Members more transparent,
– Enable high-performing level (in line with the best players on the market),
– The International Proxy Association recommends board assessment,
– Enhance the quality of information available to shareholders and the market (“Comply or Explain”),
– Strengthen decision-making processes, particularly during periods of succession or crisis,
-> IMPROVE THE BOARD’S DYNAMICS.

The specifics of a non-executive director’s approach:
– Since all Directors are at executive level, we most often use a sequential process because of the sensitive nature of the contact.
– We know when and how to approach them, directly on their mobile phones, with our regularly updated database of 2000 contacts.
– More and more often, we are asked to conduct this research on a global basis, with specific skills and regional exposure. The aim is to bring together high-level leaders from different cultures and with complementary DNAs.
– We are familiar with the governance rules in the country of origin of the profiles we target and explain to them the differences with the rules applied in France.
– The Chairman of the Board informs us of his expectations in terms of the new Member’s contribution to the Board’s dynamics (strategic vision, CEO dimension, financial expertise, marketing, HR, regional exposure, political or business network in a region of the world…).
– The same applies to the committees (Audit, Nomination, Remuneration, Governance, Strategy, CSR) on which he/she will sit.
– We identify the other current mandates of the contacted prospect and his/her availability in relation to his/her mandates and/or his current executive position.
– Finally, we validate the absence of conflicts of interest between the Boards of Directors of which he/she is already a Member and yours.
