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. 

This is the gold-standard of assessments. If you're ready for a higher functioning board, contact us to get started
