“I liked three things about BoardClic’s Board Evaluation: it had better questions than what we did, better user experience for everybody participating, and better reports. The reports are extremely valuable. We can now collect and report what is going on across all our portfolio companies, so we can compare and see where we have issues. BoardClic’s benchmarks are extremely helpful.”
– Jesper Isaksen, Partner, Head of Talent at FSN Capital

In practice it examines the performance of the board as a whole, its committees, the chair and often individual directors, then turns findings into a concrete improvement plan.

Succession planning for boards or CEOs: Ensuring leadership continuity
The performance of a board of directors can make or break an organisation’s success. A board that functions effectively ensures sound governance, drives strategic direction and upholds fiduciary responsibilities. However, maintaining such a high standard requires regular, critical evaluation. A well-conducted board performance review serves as a vital checkpoint, allowing the board to reflect on its achievements, identify areas for improvement and set the course for future success.
