BOARD ADVISORY

With board advisory, Gerrien focuses on corporate governance, the role of the board of (non-) executive directors in long-term value creation. Boardroom dynamics and self-evaluation, bias, independence, transparency and diversity are recurring topics. The combination of behavioral aspects and soft and hard controls makes a board more effective and better able to manage risk.

ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE

In an increasingly digitalized world, (non-) executive directors must continue to focus on human values ​​to ensure their organization is successful. This requires attention to other qualities, such as understanding how technology and people strengthen each other and create added value.

The employer’s role should focus on boardroom dynamics, remuneration policy and organizational culture.
