Effective boards often have a constant desire to improve. This requires continual reflection, candid discussion, and, most importantly, focused action. A strategically designed board evaluation process can foster board effectiveness.

Board evaluations are used to assess and report on individual director and group performance. Analysis of results showcase strengths and highlight gaps in performance, which may ultimately help promote deeper board engagement and encourage directors to utilize their unique perspectives to enhance board performance. Board evaluations also show management, employees, and investors that directors care about the performance of the organization and its stakeholders.
