Board evaluations

We design and deliver board evaluations and effectiveness reviews that result in improved leadership, greater clarity of roles and responsibilities, improved teamwork, greater accountability, more innovation and diversity of thinking, better decision-making, improved communication, and more efficient board operations.
Each assignment is tailored to suit our client’s needs, and could include:
  • interview or questionnaire-based reviews
  • a review of board papers, meeting observations and in-depth, candid discussions
  • the provision of a detailed insight into the workings of the board
  • the identification of strengths and weaknesses
  • the identification of the changes that will enable the board to achieve its full potential
  • a look to the future and identification of opportunities for improvement and development
  • a contribution to board succession planning

Why do we do it?

A board that truly adds value is not just a group of high performing individuals. A great board is a balanced team with complementary skill sets and a culture that allows them to work together to make the most effective decisions for an organisation. It is the full participation of every board member that contributes the most to the effectiveness of a board.

Who do we work with?

We do our very best work with privately-owned, PE-backed, or AIM-listed SMEs, autonomous subsidiaries of larger corporates, social enterprises, and charities across the North East of England.

Testimonial

Andy Williamson, OPITO

Rae is an exceptional practitioner and master of her art. Her ability to get to grips with individual personal objectives – and understand these in the context of complex organisational/market behaviours – is truly outstanding. Rae will get beyond the brief and challenge you to think differently. I’d highly recommended Rae based on my own experience which has yielded very positive outcomes.

" Brilliant boards build brilliant businesses.”
