Not to be missed!
Formulating a new supervisory board or replacing an existing Independent Director? I bring functional expertise in Operations, Product Commercialisation, Technology and People with the canny ability to provide management mentorship without crossing the micro-management boundaries. Bringing the ability to see through current assumptions, ask the hard questions, and navigate the sensitive or explosive situations.
In order to be successful Supervisory Board members, we need to ask the right questions at the proper time of the growth cycle. Drilling management with a barrage of topics will impede the growth of company, and it happens often from good intentions. Understanding, from experience, where and when to probe is the key to successful supervisory board roles. Then when you are on-point, it’s important to challenge the status quo and always have an outside-in approach. Supported by facts and data. Without data, it's just an opinion.
Is the BHAG clearly defined and known to the organisation? What are the differentiators of the product to the competition? What is the frequency and governance frameworks are currently setup around the Strategy Process?
Is the performance management system clear, effective and linked to company ROCKS? What HR process are in place and being reported to the board in order to create a winning workplace?
Does the organisation prioritise “getting it done” over “planning and preparation”? Does the supervisory board process impede management execution? How is execution measured?
Does management achieve the financial results they promise on a regular monthly and quarterly basis? Is the reporting process streamlined and effective? Usable and lightweight?
What governance tools and measures are in place to assure a safe and open working environment?
Is the board measured on their performance? Do the members do the homework, understand the intricacies of the business and management?
