For a Board to succeed in adding value, it must bring independent perspectives to the table, set goals for its own work, regularly assess how it is doing in meeting those, and examine how the contribution of individual directors might be enhanced. A Board and director evaluation process is a key element of improving governance practices.

MarketSolutions Consulting offers several Board and Director evaluation processes that can be customized to meet the needs of an individual Board. These assessments include an assessment of Board effectiveness overall on a number of measures such as:

  • Preparation
  • Board processes
  • Communication
  • Planning
  • Participation
  • Leadership
  • Board Structure
  • Results

In addition we can provide Director peer assessment as an option to the Board.

Our consultants can bring objectivity to the Board and Director evaluation process and can expertly facilitate the Board through a process of action planning that allows for clarification and reinforcement of Board accountabilities and responsibilities. In addition, the process provides an environment for Board members to share their view and perceptions concerning performance and helps to strengthen the sense of ‘team’ among participants. Finally, this process allows the Board to reflect on its achievements and recognize its strengths.
