Let’s talk about how Boardspan can help your board turn an annual evaluation into a strategic opportunity.
Board Performance Assessment:
High-Performing Boards Never Stop
Seeking to Get Better
Strategic advantage starts in the boardroom. Boardspan’s modern performance assessment gives you the clarity, alignment, and momentum to lead with confidence.
Boards today face rising complexity, scrutiny, and pressure—yet most evaluations often tick boxes and reinforce biases instead of revealing new insights. Boardspan’s smarter approach combines technology and governance expertise to deliver objective results, actionable insights, and clear recommendations, helping boards understand what’s working, where to strengthen governance, and how to lead with greater clarity and impact.
Because boards that outperform don’t guess. They know.

The Data Your Board Needs to Drive Results
Your board doesn’t need another box-ticking exercise. It needs a clear, forward-looking view that prepares it to keep delivering maximum value.
The Boardspan Performance Assessment gathers confidential input from each director across a comprehensive, customizable set of critical governance topics. Feedback is collected through a secure digital platform that promotes candor and avoids the subjectivity of call-around evaluations. Our governance experts then analyze the data to identify patterns, friction points, and strategic opportunities.
The final report provides a high-resolution view across 50+ performance dimensions—from strategic alignment and director engagement to risk oversight and committee effectiveness—with tailored recommendations from our experts to strengthen governance and elevate performance.
