Is your board setting
the right tone?

Board Benchmarking’s Advance version was designed for organisations with a turnover between US$2.5 and US$10 million and for smaller organisations where executive remuneration, talent and succession planning is important. 

The survey can also be used as a lite touch version for larger organisations, including for those that previously used Board Benchmarking’s Premium version for their deeper dive review. 

Board Benchmarking’s Premium version was designed for all large and very large organisations with a turnover in excess of US$10 million which have more than one board committee and where board delegations are important. 

The survey can also be used as a lite touch version for those organisations that previously used the same version for their deeper dive review and who want to use the same survey again and get full comparable reporting. 

The benefits of in conducting one of our Larger Organisations Board Effectiveness Survey. 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 20 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 and Premium Board Effectiveness Surveys are our most comprehensive option. They allow an organisation to truly understand every facet of their board and its internal workings. Commonly used by larger listed, private, government and large 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.
