Why Undertake a Board Evaluation?

For a board evaluation to be worth your Board's time, effort and money, your review should deliver three critical elements:

1. A rigorous and thorough process to accurately diagnose how your board is currently operating;
2. Tailored recommendations that suit the unique context in which your board is operating; and
3. Confidentiality and sensitivity to ensure the process creates an environment conducive to change.

We believe that Cameron Ralph’s board evaluation services offer a unique combination of rigor, sound benchmarking, and highly experienced principals, which together can ensure that real results are delivered.

As each board has its own unique set of circumstances, there are many reasons why a board may request our involvement – some of the more common situations include when a board is seeking to:

• ensure the board is maximising its value-add;
• design a program of improvement;
• improve information flow and relationships between management and the board;
• shape a board succession plan;
• comply with stock exchange or other requirements;
• benchmark it's performance over time and in comparison with its peers;
• promote the board’s professionalism and transparency by electing to publish the results
  of the review;
• minimise Directors’ and Officers’ insurance premiums; or
• build investor confidence as part of an initial public offering.
