Board evaluations

A thoughtful evaluation of your board

An independent basis for an open, constructive conversation about board effectiveness.

We discuss the purpose of the evaluation and agree its scope with your organisation. A questionnaire combines individual reflection, the functioning of the board and cooperation with others. Relevant modules can be selected for your context.

Responses are analysed and brought together in a clear report. A BoardResearch adviser helps the board explore patterns, differences in perspective and opportunities for development.

The evaluation supports your own reflection and judgement. The questionnaire is available only to invited participants.

Look at the board from more than one perspective

Our approach combines reflection on the board as a whole with individual perspectives on cooperation. The topics and participant groups are agreed with your organisation.

Contribution and focus

Consider how your board combines oversight, advice, strategic involvement and its responsibilities towards management. Clarify expectations and identify priorities.

Boardroom dynamics

Explore whether expertise is heard, differences of view can be expressed and members reflect together on their work. Peer perspectives can reveal patterns that a single overall score misses.

Cooperation in context

Consider relationships between supervisory and executive directors and the role of the chair. Relevant modules help keep the evaluation focused on your board’s questions.
