Board Evaluations:

How to Improve Your Board's Performance

Here at Lionheart Corporate Governance we frequently get asked what exactly is a Board evaluation?

A Board Evaluation of Board Effectiveness Review is a systematic assessment of a Board of Directors' performance.

It is typically conducted by an independent third party and can be either self-assessments or peer reviews.

Board evaluations can help identify areas where the board is excelling and areas where it can improve.

Why are board evaluations important?

Board evaluations are important for a number of reasons.

  1. They can help ensure that the board is meeting its fiduciary duties.

  2. They can help identify and address any potential problems with the Board's composition or performance.

  3. They can help the board improve its effectiveness and efficiency.

How to conduct a board evaluation

The first step in conducting a board evaluation is to identify the specific areas that will be evaluated. This can be done by reviewing the Board's charter and bylaws, as well as any relevant laws or regulations.

Once the areas for evaluation have been identified, the next step is to develop a set of criteria for each area. This will help ensure that the evaluation is fair and objective.

The evaluation process itself can be conducted in a number of ways.

One common approach is to use surveys and interviews.

Another approach is to conduct a review of the board's meeting minutes and other documents.

Regardless of the approach used, it is important to collect data from a variety of sources to get a complete picture of the board's performance.
