A fresh pair of eyes, with complimentary experience and an additional, specialist area of expertise can be just what some business need to really succeed
Hiring a non-executive director usually enables a desired step change for a business. This can be part of a growth or diversity strategy, perhaps to focus on an area of the business where the existing skillset is weak or sometimes as part of a rescue mission when things are going way off track.
Most businesses have processes that could be improved with a fresh pair of eyes, a non-executive director can scrutinise company practices (and the individuals responsible for them)and suggest a better way forward.
