Board Services

Given the governance challenges of our clients today, we have refined a Governance Review tool based on best international practices and methodologies, customized to family business, SME-s, financial sector, NGO-s etc

It is based on individual and confidential interviews with the chair, Directors, the C-Suite,  external auditors and other stakeholders.

Boards face growing demands on ESG and must be aware of their societal impact. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are also central, with boards increasingly expected to listen to all voices and reflect diversity in their composition to combat discrimination.

With unexpected challenges, digital transformation and new regulatory requirements, Boards of Directors need to constantly pursue proactive development work. Not only with an eye on the business, but also on what the Board itself does and how it develops.

AIMS International Global Team comprises highly qualified and experienced business professionals who can draw upon their personal experience working on or with boards across a broad range of business sectors.

In today’s global business landscape, corporate governance faces more regulations, increased shareholder activism, and amplified enterprise risk management. This, in turn intensifies the focus on Board Directors’ responsibilities and liabilities.

Based on the range of skills and experiences required, identifying the right mix of Directors for your company, or assessing the effectiveness of your current board, can be an overwhelming challenge.

A family business is a company where ownership and control are held primarily by one family or a few closely related individuals, spanning through generations. The family’s values, traditions, and relationships can influence the company’s culture and decision-making processes, and sometimes the intertwinement between family dynamics and business operations can pose some challenges.

These challenges can be overcome by a Family Business Advisory Board that provides structure for the business, while understanding the three pillars: owners, family and business. This allows business owners to reach outside their area of expertise or industry in an effort to broaden their knowledge, skills, experience, and network.

AIMS International is uniquely positioned to assist Family Business incorporate or develop the right Advisory Board for them.
