Strategic Board Reviews To Enhance Board Effectiveness

Engaging with boards, we conduct Board Effectiveness and Board Performance Reviews using our Board Effectiveness diagnostic and tools. Drawing on our expert knowledge and experience, we guide boards in Board and organisational culture.

Our Approach to Board Reviews

Our approach to conducting Board Reviews is centred on enhancing governance effectiveness and strengthening the relationship between the Board, CEO, and Executive Team. We understand the critical role that the Board plays in guiding organisational strategy and ensuring accountability, and our Board Review process is designed to optimise governance practices and foster productive interactions.

Key Elements of Our Approach:

Alignment with Governance Principles:

We align our Board Review process with established governance principles to ensure that the Board's role and responsibilities are clearly defined and effectively executed.

Focus on Board Dynamics:

Our review process delves into the dynamics of the Board, including its interactions with the CEO and Executive Team, to identify opportunities for improvement and enhance effectiveness.

Identification of Behaviours and Actions:

Through a combination of assessments, interviews, and facilitated discussions, we identify behaviours and actions that contribute to highly effective Board meetings and interactions. This includes clarifying the Board's role versus that of the executive team and fostering a culture of collaboration and accountability.

Development of a Board Playbook:

The outcome of our Board Reviews is the development of a comprehensive Board Playbook. This playbook serves as a guide for Board members, outlining their roles and responsibilities, agreed-upon behaviours to ensure effective meetings and interactions, and actionable steps to support the playbook's implementation.

Benefits of Our Approach:

Enhanced Governance Effectiveness: By clarifying roles, responsibilities, and expectations, our Board Reviews empower Boards to fulfil their oversight duties more effectively and contribute to organisational success.
Improved Board Dynamics: Our focus on behaviours and interactions helps foster a positive and constructive Board culture, leading to more productive meetings and stronger relationships between Board members and the executive team.
Clear Action Plans: The actionable insights and recommendations provided in the Board Playbook enable Boards to implement tangible changes that drive continuous improvement and governance excellence.
