Understand your board

The effectiveness of a board is not solely related to knowledge and understanding – dynamics and good governance are key.

A board may be made up of good people but it might not be effective at making appropriate decisions. Dominant personalities, a lack of diversity and time crunches can all add to a sub-optimal board, incapable of making decisions effectively and efficiently.

So how do you solve this?

Undertaking regular board effectiveness and skills assessment exercises allows you to gain a greater understanding of how issues have arisen, and what actions can be taken to address them.

Coupled with our long-standing expertise in helping boards better understand how they can become more effective, we use BoardClic’s technology solution to enable boards to gain deeper insights and benchmark against peers.

 


Bespoke tools, powered by BoardClic

BoardClic’s user-friendly platform provides a robust, accessible evaluation process by identifying strengths, weaknesses and areas for improvement whilst aiding more effective decision-making.

Alongside the Board / Trustee Evaluation tool, you can enjoy real-time meeting feedback via Meeting Express, and comprehensive board skill mapping from BoardClic's Skills Matrix tool.

"Board effectiveness reviews these days are not just about collating data – it's more about analysing and presenting in a consumable and measured way, enabling the board to unlock key advantages which otherwise might not have been achievable." - Inderpreet Bedi, Principal and Governance & Secretariat Lead

 

Tailored pension scheme governance

"With ongoing regulator-driven requirements for our clients around board effectiveness and identifying gaps in skills and competencies, it has never been more crucial for trustees to evaluate their board governance processes that act as a bedrock to good governance practices." - Lucy Cresswell, Partner and Senior Consultant

BoardClic provides a bank of review questions tailored to adhere to best practice governance standards and regulations, ensuring global reach with local relevance.
