Board evaluations
Unlock your board’s full potential with an IoD board evaluation.
A high-performing board doesn’t happen by chance. It requires regular reflection, assessments and a commitment to continuous learning and improvement
An independent IoD board evaluation will help your board maximise their full potential and drive improved board performance.
By choosing an IoD board evaluation, you’ll benefit from:
- Improved board dynamics and performance – Our independent evaluations benchmark your board against best practice, guided by IoD’s Four Pillars of Governance Best Practice. You’ll be able to identify your board’s strengths and areas for improvement, gain valuable insights from survey contributors and receive actionable recommendations to enhance your board’s practice and performance and build a more cohesive board culture.
- Solutions that meet your board’s needs – We offer solutions for Not-for-profit, Commercial and Crown entities, or can tailor bespoke evaluations to your specific board dynamics, challenges and operating environment. Our evaluations have been designed with your sector in mind ensuring you receive the most relevant and impactful insights for your board.
- Enhanced efficiency – Our self-managed evaluations are ready to go, with set questions saving you and your board valuable time. Through your own evaluation dashboard, you can set up and run your evaluation survey and invite and manage contributors. When the survey closes, you’ll receive your evaluation report – complete with results, commentary and recommendations. Or, if you’d like something tailored to your board’s needs, our Governance Services Team can help.
- Trusted governance expertise in a distinctly Aotearoa New Zealand context – We know governance and are trusted advisors to Aotearoa New Zealand’s governance and business leaders. Our evaluations have been created for boards in a distinctly New Zealand context and developed by governance expert. Your board will receive an independent, robust and insightful evaluation that is relevant to our environment.
