Board Review

A new perspective on board effectiveness

An outside, evaluation gives you real insight into the strengths, weaknesses, and risk factors that affect your board.

Having a great board culture means fostering the right behaviours - it’s about the people and their skills, experiences, ethos and communication styles. 

Ensuring you have the right mix of personalities and expertise, facilitated by a culture of mutual respect, trust, and importantly, constructive dissent, is critical to productivity and high performance.

Our programme is designed to help boards and senior executives work together to create a powerful culture of transparency, and accountability. With our support, empathy and director development recommendations, your board and senior executives can create an environment where everyone is working in alignment with your future goals and objectives.

Our Process

Board Reviews are essential for effective governance and minimising risk. But we know Board Reviews are painful, time-consuming, and often ineffective. Board Dynamics confidential review process is fast, easy, and provides valuable insight.

Our board evaluation process involves:   

  • This stage is designed to find out how your board works and identify strengths, gaps and pressing issues.

    Each board member completes an online confidential survey.

    We follow up with individual interviews to gain context and extra feedback.

  • During this stage, the board's strengths emerge and any major issues or challenges facing your board become apparent.

    Survey and interview results are collated and analysed.

    Consistent themes or issues are identified.

    A summary report containing both qualitative and quantitative data is presented to the board.

  • The final stage is about planning for the future and solving any problems we uncover in your board evaluation. After results are presented to the board, we work together to develop a concrete action plan with agreed outcomes and timeframes.

Our board review programme will provide you with practical advice and actionable insights to ensure the success of your team and unlock the potential of your boardroom.

I have often wondered about the utility of board reviews, which often seem a bit cumbersome. Using the Board Dynamics Review was quick, simple, and effective.
