LEADERSHIP MODEL AND OUR HALO TECHNOLOGIES.

HOW DOES HALO HELP ME BE A MORE EFFECTIVE BOARD MEMBER?

By telling you how successfully senior management has been at building an organization that delivers long term competitive advantage.

The main problem with outside members of the Board of Directors is having accurate and objective information about the inner workings of a company and how the employees view it. Absent this information, the member of a BOD is in danger of permitting his or her "reality edited" by well-meaning but self-interested insiders. To perform the legal obligation of representing the shareholders' interest, a member of a Board of Directors ought to have the advantage of the services provided by HALO.

It helps you be the best representative of the shareholders you can be by ensuring the company is reaching its full potential.

HALO measures how well the organization is doing along 53 critical managerial processes. If the organization is doing well on these 53 items then the only way it can fail is by being in the wrong market. HALO does not test strategy or market opportunity. It tests the health of the company internally.

HALO also tests the organization's ability to adapt quickly to change. Since change is inevitable in the corporate world, the ability to adapt to change is a critical skill for an organization to possess.

A more recent use of HALO has been to audit the organization in parallel with auditing the financial books. The accounting industry, and its performance, has come under intense fire since the Enron episode. You can use HALO to audit the managerial processes of the organization. One of the key processes investigated by HALO is ethical decision making. A company who's management is fabricating the books is likely to have very loose decision making guidelines ethically which will be apparent in the employee feedback...unless every employee was in on the con.

HALO gives you, a member of the Board of Directors, the information level you need to be comfortable with management's performance.
