What Constitutes Board Performance?
A board's performance is determined by the effectiveness of its leadership. Effective performance in the boardroom lays the foundation for the organisation's growth, sustainability and how it handles challenges.
What is the Role of Board Performance Assessments?
Board performance assessments play a key role in developing board efficiency. A performance assessment aids in identifying the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats related to the board’s operations. Further, these assessments provide feedback on individual director performance and the dynamics of the board as a whole. This feedback cycle forms an integral part of the AICD's board performance improvement program which aims to enhance the effectiveness of the board.
Are KPIs for Board of Directors Important?
Just as organisations use KPIs to measure and track the performance of their operational, marketing and sales activities, developmental KPIs for board of directors hold vital importance. These KPIs assess the director-level performance and the effectiveness of a director's decisions. They might include metrics around leadership, coordination with staff, competence in the role, or others according to the specific nature and needs of the organisation.
