Public Sector and Non-Profit

With major technological, economic and cultural changes affecting society, governments are under pressure to reassess their approach to dealing with the private sector, particularly in relation to policy-making and service provision. This sector is often on the frontline of such changes, and faces rising budgetary pressure and ever-increasing demands in terms of quality, speed and efficiency.

Access to a broad and diverse talent pool across public and private sectors

The regulatory frameworks naturally have to keep pace with these changes, and to ensure this, the sector needs leaders with an in-depth understanding of industry drivers, consumer requirements and the public at large. We work closely with regulatory bodies and use our long-standing expertise and broad networks to identify high calibre individuals who will excel in a public policy environment.

Based on our well-established presence in the private sector, we build teams of visionary, strategically-minded executives ready and able to address the complex challenges posed by a society in transformation at non-profit bodies and organisations, as well as in the public sector.
We provide executive search and board advisory services to the following types of organisation:

Professional Associations
Government Bodies
Defense and Security
Energy, Ressources and Utilities
Construction and Infrastructure
Regulatory Organisations
Educational and Academic Institutions
NGOs, Charities and Foundations

We help to build strong boards
The shifting regulatory environment calls for changes in the leadership of regulatory and other non-profit organisations. We help such organisations to build the right executive teams with exceptional individuals, whose broad experience, strategic mindsets and visionary skills enable them not only to lead with excellence, but also to nurture the leaders of tomorrow. Our work in this area has seen many private sector leaders move into the public sector and into regulatory bodies, putting their expertise and powerful networks to excellent use in public service.

We draw from broad talent pools
We help you to find leaders with pronounced business mindsets, who nonetheless understand and identify with the fundamental mission of the public sector and mission-driven organisations – people adept at handling the ever-more stringent transparency, efficiency and performance requirements, but keen to make a difference in society through highly effective public service.

Diversity as a strategic advantage
If an executive team reflects the diversity of its employees and the communities it serves, it will be better able to understand, interact and collaborate with them. Executive board diversity – through search or staff development measures – is thus increasingly important in public sector and non-profit organisations, particularly in view of declining resources and a heightened focus on results.
