“Recruiting the right leaders is vital to solid business performance. Direct search has proven to be the best way to fill executive management positions.”
Executive Search
Structure follows strategy.
Once the approved strategy is in place, the organizational structure deserves a lot of focus. Is there a sufficient number of right competences available to implement the change in practice? Building boards with strategic impact or executive management with operative efficiency requires comprehensive understanding of the current business and future direction. An executive search process should never be started without that foundation.
