Frequently asked questions
When does it make sense to appoint an interim board member?
When the board lacks the experience, independence or steering expertise required for a challenging phase – for example, ahead of a succession, a transformation or a change of ownership.
How does this differ from a standard assignment?
This is primarily due to the fixed-term nature of the role and the clear remit: the mandate is focused on a specific phase and a specific issue, rather than being of indefinite duration.
Are you taking on the responsibilities of a board member?
A mandate may take the form of a full board membership – with the corresponding duties and responsibilities – or an advisory role within the board. We clarify the specific terms of the mandate before we begin.
Which companies is this particularly suitable for?
Often for owner-managed and medium-sized companies whose governing bodies are technically strong but require additional external expertise at a particular stage.
