The wrong C-suite choice can cost millions and momentum
At executive level, a single hiring or succession mistake can slow execution, unsettle markets, and weaken culture from the top down.
The biggest risks boards face:
- Costly mis-hires that undermine strategy delivery and damage investor confidence
- Misaligned leadership teams that stall decision-making and slow growth
- Gaps in succession planning that put business continuity at risk
- Blind spots in leadership capability that limit innovation and competitive edge
Without objective insight, even experienced boards are forced to rely on partial information, leaving too much to chance in decisions that shape the organisation’s future.
The insight platform top boards and C-suite leaders rely on
Thomas combines science-backed assessments with practical development tools to reduce risk in executive hiring, strengthen leadership team performance, and secure long-term succession.
