Global Associates, LLC advises chief executives and boards on projects ranging from a single issue to a full review of all policies and procedures. This is done to ensure a constructive link with a company's ongoing strategy. Our experience allows us to deal knowledgeably with sensitive matters that must be examined carefully, confidentially and objectively. As governance issues continue to evolve, we are sensitive to the ongoing impact that they have on our clients. We tailor our approach to the specific needs of each company. We are active in advancing the highest standards of corporate governance through our affiliation with some leading governance organizations, such as the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) and the International Corporate Directors Institute (ICDI). We regularly provide our board of directors clients with opinion pieces on the topics of governance, leadership and human capital. Through our involvement with leading business schools, we promote governance learning. On occasion we conduct leadership and governance workshops, roundtables and conferences.            This is one of our key areas of expertise. We perform organizational and board assessments, analyzing strengths, weaknesses and challenges. We then recommend "human solutions" in terms of board or team composition that will address specific corporate goals. We know how to build the teams that will deliver results. We work with clients at the beginning stages of an acquisition to do a skills and leadership assessment of specific individuals or entire groups. Our involvement can range from analysis and recommendation to leading discussions with the CEO or Board. We are skilled at guiding corporate groups through actual strategic transition and change.
