Overseeing Board Effectiveness

Maintaining corporate integrity relies heavily on the role of company secretaries.

How we make it easy for Company Secretaries

A primary responsibility of the company secretary is to enhance the board’s effectiveness. This often involves working closely with the Chair to ensure that any board review is comprehensive and informed by expert governance advice. Despite their valuable insights into improving board performance, company secretaries may hesitate to share these insights with the CEO, Chair, or other directors.

Streamlining the Process

To streamline this process, many company secretaries are now utilising Board Surveys. Our top-tier surveys offer reliable assessments of board effectiveness, accompanied by a detailed benchmarked report—all at a cost-effective rate. This approach not only saves significant time and effort but also minimises the risk of errors and enhances the likelihood of receiving candid feedback.

Facilitating Clear Communication

We ensure that ratings and recommendations are communicated clearly and directly to the Chair, facilitating focused and productive discussions. Additionally, company secretaries can leverage our services to play a crucial role in improving the strategy and effectiveness of the leadership team, with support from Board Surveys and Advisory Partners.

Supporting Organisational Improvement

In addition to evaluating board dynamics, our advanced surveys and reports assist Chairs in driving positive changes across various organisational areas.
