Is your board setting
the right tone?

The benefits of the Advanced Board Effectiveness Survey are simple and clear. A Benchmarked report clearly show where your board sits compared to similar boards. From the top quartile (green) to the middle 50 percent (beige) or the bottom quartile (red), each survey item is benchmarked across 16 dimensions of effectiveness. This provides a clear picture of your board’s overall effectiveness.

The board assessment process aims to identify and improve the current state of a board’s performance. Valid benchmarking is the key to your success!  Benchmarking of results against comparable boards helps you make the right informed judgements about where you’re at and what you need to do to improve.

The Advanced Board Effectiveness Survey is our most comprehensive option. It allows an organisation to truly understand every facet of their board and its internal workings. Commonly used by larger listed, private, government and not-for-profit organisations, it is suitable for newcomers or those who have been doing board reviews for many years.

Many large businesses use the Advanced Board Effectiveness Survey as the foundation for externally facilitated deep-dive board reviews. Our global team of external experts can add the important extra dimensions to your board review that many larger organisations seek and these can be found with our optional extras.

Our Advanced Version is also suitable for stand-alone reviews. When opting to use it in such a way, you avoid the extra review procedures (such as interviews). This helps to speed up the process with less intrusion on the time of directors and any executives you want included while still providing extremely valuable insights. You should consider adding an optional extra of asking one of our global board advisory experts to help you interpret and act on your benchmarked survey.
