THE ACADEMY
The Academy Network’s “Academy” comprises a select group of senior executives from a wide range of industry and functional backgrounds. Members of the Academy include executives who have experience as CEO’s, heads of functions and business units, public company directors, professional specialists and leading academics.
The Academy members are not employees, and therefore the group is under no obligation to use them on assignments. The sole basis of their involvement on any assignment is the suitability of their experience and expertise to the client’s requirement, combined with their individual aptitude to work with the advisory team and add value.
The Academy Network model provides the client with access to a range and depth of expertise not readily found in the market. At the same time, it provides senior academics, board directors, specialist contractors and semi-retired executives with access to an advisory framework and platform through which they can make their valuable experience and expertise available to the market.
Members of the Academy are generally characterised by: --
-
Proven track record of achievement in senior roles.
-
Recognised expertise and experience in a particular industry or functional field.
-
Highly developed communication and interpersonal skills to advise others and impart their expertise.
-
Strong client orientation, combined with high integrity and reliability.
