Key Strategies and a New Approach to C-Suite Candidate Assessment

Traditional hiring practices are falling short in high-growth environments. A shift to context-driven, tailored assessment tools is helping Boards and CEOs identify leaders who thrive under real pressure. It’s not about culture fit anymore - it’s about leadership fit for now.

Insights

The Strategic Value of People Optimisation

People strategies must evolve with growth. From scrappy start-ups to mature enterprises, aligning people operations to growth stages is what separates high performers from the rest. It’s time to treat people optimisation as a strategic function, not a supporting one.

Insights

Knowing When to Step Back from Founder-Led Sales

In the earliest stages of a company’s growth, it’s entirely appropriate, even essential, for the founder to lead sales. No one understands the product better, no one is closer to the customer, and no one can articulate the company’s mission as powerfully. But at some point, the founder becomes the bottleneck.
