Consulting Services

Built on a strong foundation of search and operating experience, our consulting services help clients understand what leadership they need to deliver on future strategy, the leadership they have today and how they can close the gap between the two and keep it closed.

Board of Directors/Board Governance

Board Governance both in the private and non profit sectors has become more important that ever before. Today’s business environment is influenced by a fluctuating economy, greater scrutiny, and increased regulatory requirements, all of which are creating challenges and increased responsibilities for boards of directors. Because their role in governance has been heightened and the demands for accountability and transparency are at an all-time high, directors need current information and perspectives from independent sources to help make the tough decisions. Whether securing key individuals to fill key roles on the board, working with committees inside the board on specific projects, or consulting the board chairman, The Buffkin Group partners have a successful history in working with boards.

Succession Planning

Succession planning that provides assistance on the front end of future leadership change will determine the success or failure of a leadership transition.  Assessment of the future goals of the company, the traits desired in the new leader, assessment of internal candidates, search and placement of external talent and the establishment of the guidelines internally for the transition are all aspects of The Buffkin Group’s expertise in a successful succession plan for our clients.

Management Assessment

Whether you are an acquiring company with interest in the assessment of a particular management team or a board or CEO with an interest in an assessment of your own team, our management assessment process provides an independent third party view.  Assessment derived from a structured interview process, personality/behavioral testing and 360 degree feedback from colleagues, managers and customers.  We can also use our relationships in each of our industry verticals to do confidential assessment of a management team.  Our goal is to give you an independent third party view point.
