Board and Director Evaluations: Innovations for 21st Century Governance Committees

Boards of Directors are comprised of smart, sophisticated and accomplished businesspeople. Yet many boards waste their directors’ time and talent when it comes to board and director evaluations. If it’s time to upgrade your board evaluation to something truly worthwhile – a process that respects your directors’ insights, perspectives and good ideas - and engages them in an exercise that’s not only enjoyable but genuinely impactful, this book will outline everything you need to know to redesign your board and director evaluation to something far better suited to the intelligent, successful people who serve on most Boards of Directors today.

All that’s really needed is a boardroom champion – a leader genuinely committed to making his or her board the very best that it can be. If you are that champion, this book will help you to leverage some of the best tools available to make a good board genuinely great and to keep a great board vibrant. And your timing could not be better! Directors’ newfound comfort with Zoom opens the door to using videoconferencing to introduce sophisticated interview-based evaluations, accelerating the timeline from the development of protocols that reflect the unique features of your own board to an Action Plan that yields meaningful results.
