Boyden Formalizes Leadership Consulting Partnership in Support of Global Growth

Boyden,
a premier talent advisory and leadership solutions firm with more than
65 offices in over 40 countries, today announced a new partnership with
London-based Nicholson
McBride to support client needs and
continued growth in its leadership consulting businesses.

The partnership with Nicholson McBride, one of Europe’s premier
leadership consultancies, will provide greater access to critical
leadership consulting services for clients of Boyden, which saw its
global revenue increase by more than 14% in 2018.

Boyden and Nicholson McBride’s leadership consulting offerings include
the Boyden Leadership Model (BLM), Cultural Change, Coaching and
Onboarding solutions as well as bespoke leadership development programs.
Clients around the globe are increasingly relying on Boyden for expanded
leadership consulting services, in addition to executive search and
interim management.

“Over 70 years ago, our founder Sidney Boyden said the great variable in
business is the calibre of global leadership,” said Trina
Gordon, President & CEO of Boyden. “While still true today, the key
differentiator for evolving global organisations is how well aligned
their leadership teams are to capitalize on emerging opportunities,
adapt to fast-evolving market dynamics, and navigate global
complexities. Our partnership with industry leader Nicholson McBride is
a natural extension of Boyden’s recognised advisory services in response
to our client requirements for an integrated suite of talent solutions.”

“We are delighted to be partnering with Boyden. Our approaches are
entirely complementary – niche and bespoke,” said Jane
Clarke, Director of Nicholson McBride. “As psychologists, we believe
that the Boyden Leadership Model and approach provide the best predictor
of future performance in senior roles, thus helping businesses appoint
the right candidates for strategic leadership positions. Nicholson
McBride can then support the successful candidate in the onboarding
process, to ensure the right fit from a behavioural and cultural
perspective – developing individual skills and the leadership team – to
ensure that selected leaders fulfil their potential and move rapidly
from establishing themselves to achieving a new level of business
success.”

Boyden’s Leadership Model is a solution that assists client
organisations in aligning leadership teams to implement strategy and
achieve key business objectives. BLM is the result of proprietary
innovations in leadership advisory services — a synthesis of empirical
research and academic rigour, client collaboration, and business
partnership with Nicholson McBride. It provides quantitative and
qualitative analysis of nine core leadership competencies, grouped into
three areas of intelligence: cognitive, social and emotional.

BLM is complemented by Boyden’s Leadership Consulting services:

Leadership Development: Senior leadership teams play
complementary roles by co-creating leadership development programs that
supercharge their collective abilities. This includes developing and
executing strategy, as well as building dynamic leadership team
relationships and effective decision-making.

Talent Mapping: Whether an organisation is considering expanding
into new markets, developing new products or analysing the competition,
it can benefit from a detailed analysis of the talent landscape.

Cultural Change: Even with the most robust strategy in place,
companies that do not focus on culture experience greater recruitment
and retention challenges. Boyden and Nicholson McBride partner with
clients to understand the unique drivers and circumstances that inform
the organisation and create the appropriate solutions to drive
organisational change.

Coaching and Onboarding: A thorough approach to onboarding with
an executive coach has been shown to increase executive engagement and
performance, reduce departures, and shorten the time to full
productivity.

“Working in collaboration with Nicholson McBride, Boyden has refined our
BLM into a proprietary, predictive tool for modelling individual
executives or teams of executives,” said Caroline
Golenko, Managing Partner, Boyden France and lead member of the
global leadership consulting team. “Our advanced leadership consulting
services provide expert solutions and informed decision-making processes
that afford our clients the ability to achieve their business
objectives.”
