Board Composition

Both institutional investors and regulators are pushing for more diverse boardrooms but progress is slow. Whether legislated or not, gender balance on boards is crucial for any company that wants to thrive in the future. Don’t hesitate to get in touch to secure that your board is both competent AND diverse!

  • FutureBoards work with several recruitment professionals to secure a systematic and structured nomination process.

    Our role is to chair the nomination committee in close collaboration with the company's shareholders, board members and management, and it will include these steps:

    1. Goals and strategies for the board period: What are the big issues, opportunities and challenges?

    2. Board evaluation. What competence does the board have today? What are the ways of working? What is the culture in the boardroom?

    3. Designing a candidate profile based on the previous bullet points.

    4. Screening/interview with candidates

    5.  After board election: 'Onboarding'
