Introduction to board performance reviews

Board Performance Reviews are a critical tool for organisations to ensure continuous improvement in governance and board-level decision making. If performed effectively, they foster accountability, enhance decision making and help organisations align strategic objectives.

Purpose

This course supports professionals with no prior experience of Board Performance Reviews who are planning to procure, facilitate or conduct a review. Through practical and interactive sessions using real-life case studies, the course will provide the know-how and tools to achieve buy-in from key stakeholders, plan and scope a board review, engage a suitable board evaluator, facilitate the board review and to use the recommendations to foster continuous improvement.
