Leadership Advisory FAQ
What is leadership advisory?
Leadership advisory is a strategic consulting service that helps organisations assess, develop and align their senior leadership teams. It covers leadership structure, capability assessment, succession planning, executive hiring strategy and board effectiveness. Unlike traditional recruitment, leadership advisory focuses on the overall strength and composition of the leadership team, not just filling a single role.
What is the difference between leadership advisory and executive search?
Executive search finds and appoints a specific individual for a leadership role. Leadership advisory addresses the broader leadership question - assessing current team capability, identifying gaps, planning succession, and advising on the structure needed to deliver business strategy. At Azon, both services are integrated - we provide leadership advisory as part of every retained executive search engagement, and as a standalone service for boards and CHROs.
What does a leadership advisory consultant do?
A leadership advisory consultant works with boards, CEOs and CHROs to assess leadership team effectiveness, identify capability gaps, advise on succession planning, and support executive hiring decisions. At Azon, our consultants combine deep Irish market knowledge with direct experience in C-suite and board-level search, bringing both advisory insight and talent market intelligence to every engagement.
What is succession planning and when should an organisation start?
Succession planning is the process of identifying and developing leaders to fill critical roles when they become vacant - through retirement, promotion or unexpected departure. Irish organisations should begin succession planning well before a leadership transition is needed, ideally as part of annual strategic planning. Boards and CHROs who plan early have significantly more time to develop internal candidates or conduct a thorough external search without urgency pressure.
Does Azon provide leadership advisory as a standalone service?
Yes. Azon provides leadership advisory as both an integrated component of our retained executive search process and as a standalone consulting service for boards and senior leadership teams. Standalone engagements typically cover leadership structure review, capability assessment, succession planning, and advisory input on executive hiring strategy. Contact us to discuss your organisation's requirements.
