- By “business experienced” we mean a preference for real-world international management experience, preferably in both large multi-nationals and small-medium national business and preferably at both senior management and front-line management levels – we like people who have “been there and done that”.
- By “highly qualified” we mean a preference for a theoretical base at Master’s level or higher in a relevant discipline. While most of our business is conducted in English, we have a preference for a command of at least one other language.
- By “globally dispersed” we mean that we seek to have associates in key locations – able to draw upon the collective expertise of the group to support clients globally. We also have a preference for people who have themselves lived and worked in countries other than their own. Many run their own businesses in their base countries.
- By “like-minded” we mean interested in producing value for organisations by finding ways to improve the performance of individuals and teams. We operate in the real world of organisations; work, people, goals, stakeholders, budgets, targets.
