Talent Advisory
Align leadership to strategy — before the hire.
We work with CEOs and executive teams to link talent to value: the critical roles, succession and leadership capability behind a growth plan.
What the work is
Talent Advisory helps chief executives and their teams decide where leadership talent matters most and what to do about it. The work covers identifying the roles that drive value, assessing the people in and around them, planning succession for CEO and C-suite positions, shaping top-team effectiveness, and advising boards on leadership. It rests on the same market evidence Talent Intelligence produces, so recommendations are benchmarked against what comparable firms actually do.
What you can hold us to
- Recommendations are benchmarked against comparable firms.We compare structures, spans and succession patterns with the peer set.
- Partners lead the work personally.The same partners who run searches run the advisory engagements.
- Critical roles are identified before searches are launched.Advisory work frequently reduces the number of hires a client thought it needed.
