What we do

Our board evaluations independently assess board practice across areas that include purpose, leadership, operations, culture, oversight and any specific areas your board would like to address. Through a board evaluation you can clearly identify how and where to improve your board’s capability.

Why should you do a board evaluation?

An evaluation will keep your board current, accountable, prepared and at peak performance.  Regular board evaluations are part of governance best practice and increase board effectiveness.

According to the IoD code of practice, “systematic review of the performance of individual directors (including the chair) and of the board as a whole helps address weaknesses, increases skill levels and demonstrates a commitment to accountability”.

About board evaluations

We offer fit for purpose board evaluation solutions at competitive rates. Whether you’re a not-for-profit, small to medium enterprise or a commercial organisation, a board evaluation will help you to optimise your board’s effectiveness and practice.

Through our evaluation platform you can survey your board members to get a clear picture of your board’s performance. The final report is produced once all members have completed the survey, including results for all questions, the average ratings, recommendations and anonymous comments.  

Our services range from automated reports that provide you with an effective and fast overview of your board, to tailored comprehensive reports by a governance professional. Survey question sets are designed for Commercial and Not-for-Profit entities, so you can select what is right for your organisation. You can also choose to focus on a specific board performance area or issue with our targeted service called Spotlight.
