Our Service

         

WE WILL ASSESS AND REVIEW YOUR BOARD USING OUR UNIQUE BOARD ASSESSMENT TOOL


  • ·We tailor our review to your objectives and agree our approach with you at the beginning of the project.


  • Each review will use the Board Revolution Board Assessment Tool (BRT), a comprehensive questionnaire which provides us with the core information we need to review your Board. With over 100 questions, the BRT is structured into three domains: Strategy, Competency and Effectiveness.


  • The BRT aligns with recognised guidance on effective Boards including the UK Corporate Governance Code and Wates Corporate Governance Principles. It draws from academic research on the changing role of Boards, where there is increasing interest in how organisations can achieve their profit objectives and make a social and environmental impact at the same time. 


  • We use the BRT in conjunction with conducting Director Interviews, Observing Board Meetings and Reviewing your Board Documentation. The breadth of our approach, which is tailored to your needs delivers a comprehensive overview of your Board, its purpose, structure, decision making, leadership, aptitude, culture, integrity, diversity, accountability, openness and effectiveness. 


  • We provide you with a detailed report presenting our findings. The aim is to provide an informed external view of your Board, which should  provide a springboard for increasing your Boards effectiveness.

WHY YOU SHOULD USE OUR BOARD ASSESSMENT AND REVIEW SERVICE 


  • Your Board has been appointed to set the strategy for your organisation and to actively manage its performance and risk. This applies whether your organisation is a ‘for profit’ company, partnership, social enterprise or a charity. 


  • Today, Boards and Directors are coming under increasing scrutiny, not only for the performance of the organisation they serve, but also, in relation to how far their organisation contributes to meeting social and environmental challenges. It is widely acknowledged that an effective Board will make a significant contribution to achieving organisational sustainability. 


  • Boards need to be able to respond to challenges, by creating strategic opportunities for their organisations and their customers. Meeting these challenges, for example, by ensuring that their organisation delivers on higher customer expectations in rapidly changing business contexts, is a key characteristic of an effective Board, which can help to create competitive advantage for your business.
