Poland

Poland Overview

Poland is country of central Europe. Poland is located at a geographic crossroads that links the forested lands of northwestern Europe to the sea lanes of the Atlantic Ocean and the fertile plains of the Eurasian frontier. Now bounded by seven nations, Poland has waxed and waned over the centuries, buffeted by the forces of regional history.

Landscape and growth

Advisory Board Landscape

The assessment has identified low numbers of Advisory Board professionals in Poland. Minimal participation in the market may indicate:

  • That Advisory Board structures engaged in the country are informal in nature;
  • Advisory Boards are referred as a different name, such as committees, councils or think tanks;
  • Traditional sourcing of advice is more customary for Poland’s current business environment; or
  • There is a language barrier stemming from the search for Advisory Board professionals being in English.

Future Growth Opportunities

As an emerging sector in Poland, connection and collaboration with the global Advisor community will present strong future growth opportunities. Further, focusing on key market sectors – manufacturing, energy and tourism – as well as acknowledging start-up and emerging industries are essential. It will also be important for Advisory Board professionals in market to be credentialed to best practice and ethics as this sector grows over time.
