BOARD EVALUATION

For over 25 years, Maddision Pine has been assisting public sector boards with evaluating the performance of their boards, and professionalizing and transforming boards. Our tried and tested Board Evaluation Tool (BET) challenges boards to consider how they operate as a corporate entity and, in so doing, enhances their effectiveness as a board. The BET is a facilitated diagnostic which enables boards to think laterally and externally, and provides a base from which to embark on development.

The aim of the BET

The BET aims to provide a framework for reviewing and improving public sector board performance. Regularly reviewing and evaluating board performance is an example of best practice governance for any board – and the BET can support State-owned Enterprises as part of their governance requirement to evaluate Board performance.

How it works

The tool reviews the performance of your board to highlight strengths and identify potential areas for development. It starts with an objective assessment of board members’ perceptions of their board performance. It is focused on developmental outcomes. All the findings and outcomes are confidential, led by the Chair and owned by the whole board.
