Our Evaluation Process

Planning

We collaborate with you to define the scope of the board of directors evaluation, whether it’s a broad assessment across key drivers of effectiveness or a targeted review of specific areas.

Research & Preparation

Our team conducts thorough research to understand your organisation and the operational dynamics of your board. This includes conducting surveys and, optionally, a Board Skills Matrix assessment.

In-Depth Evaluation

Based on our research, we perform key stakeholder interviews and observe board meetings. These interviews are designed to be discursive and insightful, providing valuable feedback and fostering a cathartic experience for participants.

Insightful Reporting

We present our findings in a concise, future-focused report. Our recommendations are pragmatic and commercially astute, offering actionable steps for improvement. We also provide personalised feedback for each director as part of the board effectiveness review process.
