Board Development

Why is Board Development important?

The Board provides the vision, strategy and leadership for the organisation.  Its role is to ensure the organisation delivers on its aims and objectives and meets the needs of both internal and external stakeholders.  A well-functioning Board is critical to maintaining and improving organisational performance.  To deliver its role, the Board needs processes for monitoring and reviewing its own effectiveness and the know how to improve the performance of the team.

Yet the Board is made up of individuals.  It will only deliver if these individuals are able to work together cohesively – capitalising on their complementary skills and experiences and maximising their collective strength and potential. 

An effective Board:

• is clear about individual and collective roles and responsibilities
• has clear processes in place to enable the organisation to deliver its objectives 
• reviews and evaluates its performance continuously
• promotes a climate of challenge and support to engender continuous improvement
