Say goodbye to failed leader appointments AN OPEN LETTER FROM OUR CEO Executive Search and Leadership Advisory Today it is clear, securing effective leadership is one of the biggest challenges’ organisations face. Comprehensive and repeated research proves that organisations that attract, motivate and develop the most effective leaders outperform those that do not. Truly successful organisations build the right capabilities and talent at all levels – with leaders who can take their organisation into the future.

Chairman letter The year of 2020 will of course be remembered through the strain the Covid-19 crisis has put on us all, our company and society. It has required specific attention and actions to protect the company. This has been handled very successfully. We have been able to secure an uninterrupted delivery of our service to clients, and we are now well prepared to handle the opportunities ahead of us with a very strong and successful team.

CEO statement In the year 2020 our team completed €62.8m of client work, significantly ahead of our expectations but below 2019 income. This is explained by a planned reduction in headcount in line with our strategy to focus on the leadership segment. As importantly, given world events, our team stayed safe and looked after colleagues and clients alike – without interruption or hesitation. A remarkable year. Together we took further extraordinary steps towards our strategic objectives: About Us Our Organisation A Year in Review Chairman letter CEO Statement Financial Highlights Talent Without Limits for All The Company and Culture
