Case Study Oil & Gas · Bursa-listed

Two DCEO seats. Five candidates. One defensible decision.

How a national energy group replaced boardroom instinct with evidence — and left with a succession decision it could stand behind.

01The Challenge

Two Deputy CEO positions were retiring in the same year — and the Board could not defend a choice on instinct.

Five internal candidates. A Nominating & Remuneration Committee that needed an independent, legally defensible process. And a culture question underneath it all: were these leaders ready for where the organisation was heading, not just where it had been?

02The Approach

One journey, applied.

Insight, Alignment and Capability — run as a single evidence chain, not three disconnected engagements.

01 · Insight

Five candidates assessed through NBO.CLASS, Insight360° and Thomas Assess psychometrics — six structured activities per candidate.

02 · Alignment

Findings synthesised onto the Talent Readiness Grid and facilitated with the Board and NRC into a single, defensible view.

03 · Capability

A development roadmap for the appointed leaders and a culture transformation roadmap proposed for execution.

03The Outcome

A decision the Board could stand behind.
