Lancor has a strong track record of conducting Board searches across multiple industries and in multiple geographies.

However talented individual members may be, Boards invariably consist of people at different career stages, with varied perspectives and diverse experiences relative to the companies they serve. As a unit, they are required to make difficult, often pressured decisions in short spaces of time.

Given that the best-performing Boards generally operate as a team, it is helpful to view decisions about individual appointments in the context of the collective capabilities and performance of the Board.

Lancor provides a framework to assist in making these decisions, which, stated simply, compares the strategic issues facing the business, its breadth, reach and complexity, with the skill-sets and experiences represented amongst existing non-executives on the Board.

Lancor is therefore able to offer very specific advice on individual appointments that enhance collective performance.
