Porter’s Five Forces model

Identifying and securing transformative leaders requires more than traditional candidate screening.  Our retained search solution combines deep market intelligence with strategic evaluation frameworks to deliver exceptional leaders who drive measurable business impact.

For roles that influence market strategy or carry P&L responsibility, we begin with Porter’s Five Forces analysis.  This strategic lens examines how your future leader will navigate competitive dynamics, supplier relationships, market threats, and emerging opportunities.  This approach ensures candidates bring both the strategic vision and practical experience needed to strengthen your market position and drive profitable growth.

We then apply our proprietary SMART evaluation framework to identify leaders who bring more than just relevant experience – they bring proven success in similar market conditions.  Each candidate undergoes rigorous assessment of their strategic execution capabilities, value creation track record, and cultural alignment with your organization.
