Governance Matters

Board Evaluations

The role of the board includes assessing and monitoring the performance of the organisation and the chief executive. Best practice boards also understand the need to evaluate their own performance as a contributor to the ongoing success of the organisation.

We conduct on-line board evaluations for:

  • the Board
  • the Chairman
  • individual Directors
  • Board Committees
  • the CEO's working relationship with the Board

The process we follow involves:

  • design of the evaluation instrument using our extensive question library. Survey format includes quantitative and qualitative questions.
  • communication about the evaluation process
  • deployment of the evaluation
  • interpretation of data and development of report including conclusions and recommendations to enhance governance performance
  • delivery of the report

Consultant presentation of the report or assistance with the implementation of recommendations can be arranged.
