Better decisions begin with Board Insights
Powered by BoardOutlook, the AICD’s Board Insights performance assessment tool is a scalable, data-driven subscription service that helps boards lead with greater clarity, confidence and impact.
By benchmarking your board’s performance against similar boards in your sector, you can get a clear, evidence-based view of its effectiveness. Working with our experts to unpack the results, you can then close the gaps and chart a practical path forward.
Designed for continuous improvement, Board Insights is the smarter way to assess, align and advance your governance practice. When you know more, you govern better.
It’s more than a review—it’s a roadmap
Surface the wins, the risks and the red flags with honest, data-driven insight across board dynamics, decision-making and strategy.
See how your board compares to organisations similar in size and sector so you can drill down on the areas that can move the needle.
Giving you more than a one-off report, our governance experts help you unpack the results and translate them into practical next steps.
We don’t leave you asking ‘where to next?’. We help you bridge any gaps with follow-up education, resources and ongoing support.
