Avail of the IoD Ireland Board Evaluation Service to learn how effectively your board is executing its roles and responsibilities.
There can be many reasons why a company may engage in a Board Evaluation, such as:
- To tick a regulatory box.
- To comply with a governance code.
- To deal with a particular board issue that has emerged.
- To independently assess the board in terms of effectiveness and dynamics.
- To improve the performance and governance of the business.
- Or a combination of all of the above.
At the IoD we have dealt with all of these scenarios. The one thing that is a constant, regardless of the initial motivation for conducting the evaluation, is how surprised boards are at the ease of the process and the benefits of the output.
