Board Evaluations

The boards of all organisations are increasingly examining the way they

discharge their duties and their overall performance to achieve continuous

improvement. A rigorous external assessment undertaken on a periodic basis is

a valuable tool in achieving overall improvement.

A board that conducts periodic assessments/evaluations is more likely to

anticipate problems, therefore being prepared to deal with these more

effectively. The evaluation process can highlight specific areas for action and

development. Board evaluations can help members develop an appreciation of

each other’s diverse skills and, consequently, those of the overall board. This

can prove invaluable when seeking new or additional board members to ensure

you get the right skill set for the organisation.

Unfortunately some boards do not operate efficiently or effectively, a board

evaluation can be a useful tool to break this cycle and identify appropriate

remedies.

Essentially an effective board evaluation can improve the overall effectiveness

of meetings, improve the relationship between the board and management,

identify areas for improvement and build relationships between directors.
