Board Services

For companies on a steep growth and globalization curve – from start-up to global player - we help compose boards that are agile, forward-thinking and change-ready.

Catalysts for change

A successful board is a diverse, high-performing team that guides an organization’s strategic direction and governance. It requires a careful balance of accountability, foresight, and performance to steer the organization toward its long-term goals. We believe a board’s effectiveness profoundly impacts an organization’s growth and success.

Amrop’s tailored board services are designed to enhance your board’s effectiveness. Recognizing that each board has unique challenges and strengths, we offer customized solutions that include board member recruitment to ensure the right mix of skills and diversity, comprehensive evaluations of both individual and collective performance, and a range of consulting services to strengthen your board’s capabilities.

Our goal is to build a board culture rooted in diversity, strategic vision, and responsible governance—transforming your board into a dynamic, visionary force that leads your organization toward sustainable success.

Partner Elin Wrammerfors Co-Leads the global Board Services Practice which is a trusted center of excellence for our clients, helping them to decipher new trends and implement innovative practices.

How can we help you?

1Board Search: Director by director, we help our clients define the best possible board composition, creating dynamic and insightful boards. Identifying strengths and analysing gaps in demographics, mindset, skills or diversity, we find leaders who make the difference between success and failure in today’s fast-moving environments.

2Board Evaluation: Amrop’s tailored board evaluation process provides businesses with a clear, data-driven review of their board's performance and governance. Using in-depth interviews, shadowing, and our proprietary Board Evaluation Tool (BET), we offer actionable insights to enhance board effectiveness, strategic alignment, and governance practices.

Our evidence-based BET framework, combined with expert interviews and the latest research, delivers an objective assessment of your board. We uncover key dynamics in performance, governance, and strategic alignment, providing clear strategies to unlock your board’s full potential and drive organizational success.

3Board Advisory: Alongside search and evaluation, we actively support the internal management of boards: benchmarking for external review, building strong board frameworks and advising on compensation, benefits and compliance.

Destination Boardroom 1 3 Trends Executive Talent

Destination Boardroom Chapter 1 | Three Trends Redefining the Executive Talent Domain

In this industry, privacy and discretion are sacred. As a result, clients lack a clear view of the profession. They are quickly inclined to regard headhunters as a necessary evil. Wrongly, as this series, based on Eelco van Eijck´s 2018 book ‘Destination Boardroom’ seeks to make clear.

Destination Boardroom Chapter 2 | The Talent Radar

In Chapter 2 of our series exploring the journey to the
boardroom, we focus on discovering early-stage talent —
the leaders for what’s next. How can hiring organizations
build a more sensitive talent radar? What do upcoming
leaders need to do to appear on it? What kind of search
strategy is needed to find the exceptional candidate?

Destination Boardroom 3 Mapping Exec Search World

Destination Boardroom Chapter 3 | Mapping the Executive Search World

Many decision-makers in the private and public sector see executive search as a ‘necessary evil’. A tour of investors and business schools, executive and supervisory board directors, throws up some unflattering descriptions. One of these: ‘an opaque sector’ is probably linked to the industry’s duty to exercise absolute discretion. Others signal a clear need for improvement: ‘pumping the same names around’, ‘emphasis on reputation, not merit’, ‘lack of quality’ and ‘low innovation’. The battle to professionalize is underway.

Board Ready-Women

The best global Boards understand the importance of reflecting their organization’s diversity; their
employees, consumers, shareholders and their wider communities. Diversity gives a voice to the
needs of key stakeholder groups. It improves the chances of avoiding thinking errors and bias,
(‘groupthink’ being one example). And it improves performance.

Digitization on Boards

What are successful digital executives (and their High Performing Organizations) doing better and differently in the
digital arena? In this complex environment, where can digital
executives and non executive boards focus — and win?
