Supporting the formation of international supervisory boards
At One Philosophy, we bring experience and expertise in guiding the formation of international supervisory boards.
According to the study “Resilient. For the long run” conducted last year by One Philosophy, one of the key drivers of business resilience is diversification through globalization and expansion into new markets. This move, however, calls for expert support, deeper knowledge, and a wider perspective. Forming international supervisory or advisory boards is a strategically balanced and mature response in this context.
This is a deep and long-term process that takes place in several stages:
1
Defining the board’s framework — its vision, purpose, role, areas of expertise, modes of interaction, and the “red lines” in relation to the founders and the current leadership team.
2
Shaping the portfolio of prospective board members
3
Expectation alignment, candidate identification, and recruitment
4
Onboarding and support for integration.
Advantages of creating international supervisory boards:
Bringing a fresh perspective to strategic thinking and business scenario planning
Engaging global expertise that consulting alone at the start cannot fully replace
Willingness to face “uncomfortable” yet vital questions that drive resilience, growth, and sustainability
A clear signal to investors and partners of mature governance
Getting ready for future challenges — the question “are we prepared for the next crisis?” is best asked before it arrives, not after.
At One Philosophy, we don’t focus on selecting names. We help businesses answer key questions: why create a board, what impact will it have today and in the long term, and how to ensure it aligns with the company’s ambitions and values.
