Traditional board search processes are frustrating and rarely work

‘How do you find board vacancies – the ones right for you?’; ‘How do you create a compelling reason for your appointment?’; ‘How do you actually get appointed?’…

Regardless of your skills or level of experience, whether you are looking for a paid or voluntary appointment, whether you are seeking your first appointment, or are trying to sustain a board portfolio, these are the sorts of questions you are probably asking yourself and need answers to.

The good news is that over 50% of organisations with boards recruit new board members each year, meaning tens of thousands of board opportunities are available annually. So, whilst the process is undoubtedly competitive, thousands of people successfully gain new appointments each year, and you can too.

If you can’t find opportunities or aren’t getting appointed, you are not alone. It is likely doing at least one of three things wrong. 

  1. You are targeting the wrong organisations;
  2. Your pitch to those organisations isn’t compelling enough, or
  3. You are only relying on traditional recruitment processes that rarely work.

There is a better way…

Most people go about finding and gaining a board appointment all wrong. 

They believe gaining a board role is a ‘journey’ and focus their effort on actions that almost inevitably end with confidence-crushing and frustrating ‘thank you, but no thank you‘ responses (if not dead silence – sound familiar?). Worse still, when that doesn’t work, they do the same again and again, only get more frustrated and quit. 

Attend the Board Search Event to get answers to all of these questions and leave with a simple and easy-to-implement three-step framework and process that successful non-executive directors know, which has helped thousands of people gain board appointments.

Specifically, you will leave:

    • Knowing the organisations that you could be appointed to,
    • Being able to articulate your value at board level via your CV, in a casual conversation, and in a formal interview,
    • Understanding how to implement a simple process that will ensure that you can:
          • Find board vacancies others can’t,
          • Find board opportunities that are better suited to you and your skills,
          • Get appointed more often, and
          • Get a far greater return on the investment of your valuable time!

'I joined your first seminar of the year back in January with the objective of getting my first NED role within 12 months. The advice on structuring your CV to reflect what Chairs are looking for was radically different from how I had prepared applications before, which had always listed my achievements as an exec (logically I guess, as I’m still a full-time CEO).

As a result, I was successful in my first application, which was for a paid NED role on the Board of Milton Keynes Hospital, an NHS trust with a turnover approaching £500m. The synergies with my day job certainly helped, but I would not have able to articulate my profile and benefits to the Board without your seminar and website articles. I was told later that I was one of 24 applicants, so am pleased with the achievement.'
