In the fast-changing world of corporate governance, ensuring your board has the right mix of skills and competencies is crucial for sustained success.

BoardClic’s latest innovation, the Skills Matrix, offers a data-driven approach to evaluating both individual and collective board skills, allowing for precise identification of strengths and areas for development.

A transformative tool for proactive succession planning

The Skills Matrix facilitates proactive succession planning and becomes a powerful tool when used regularly. By continuously monitoring directors’ skill sets, boards can seamlessly adapt to shifting strategic needs and ensure that leadership is always equipped to meet future challenges.

Tailored to your board’s unique needs

BoardClic understands that every board is unique. That’s why the Skills Matrix not only features over 100 pre-populated board skills but also offers the flexibility to add specific competencies tailored to your board’s and organisation’s needs. This customisation ensures that the tool remains relevant and aligned with your strategic goals, covering all essential competencies.

Each director’s skills are assessed on a 1-5 point scale, enabling a thorough analysis of each board member's expertise. This evaluation is then combined with assessments from designated evaluators, such as the Chairman or board advisor, providing a clear picture of the board’s overall proficiency.

The Skills Matrix’s instant comparative insights deliver a transparent view of the board’s capabilities, promoting informed decision-making. Stakeholders both inside and outside the organisation can access these insights, fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.

By leveraging BoardClic's Skills Matrix, boards can enhance their effectiveness and ensure they remain agile and well-prepared to navigate the complexities of modern governance. This product is designed to drive excellence and strategic alignment in your board’s performance and composition.
