Board Evaluation with Impact – Insight, Alignment, and Development
A professional and value-creating board requires continuous reflection on collaboration, roles, and strategic direction. That’s why a well-anchored and structured board evaluation is a vital part of good corporate governance – not just to meet formal recommendations, but to ensure real development and progress in the board’s work, ultimately driving value for the company.
More than an evaluation – a platform for development
At Birn+Partners, we offer a board evaluation that leads to both insight and action. Our approach is data-driven, yet deeply rooted in your culture, strategy, and goals. You don’t just get a temperature check – you get a concrete starting point for enhanced collaboration and increased value creation.
An evaluation has no real value unless it is followed by work on the results that leads to meaningful development and change.
A structured five-phase process:
-
Strategic preparation and adaptation
We tailor our proven evaluation framework to your specific context through a planning meeting where questions, report structure, and communication are customised. -
Anchoring and ownership
We ensure buy-in and motivation from the chair, executive management, and board members through a shared introduction to the purpose and process. -
Execution of the evaluation
The digital and anonymous evaluation runs over approximately 14 days, focusing on five themes: composition, working methods, collaboration, strategy, and development. -
Analysis and dialogue
Results are compiled in a visual report, and we facilitate a workshop to prioritise development areas and outline concrete actions. -
Implementation and follow-up
We support your ongoing development with suggestions for new structures, role clarification, and follow-up formats – and offer benchmarking opportunities over time.
Support throughout the entire process
Our role doesn’t end with the report. We act as your sparring partner throughout – from the initial design to the implementation of improvements. We ensure that the evaluation becomes a true tool for development, not just a point on the agenda.
Outcomes for the board:
-
Clarity on where and how the board creates value
-
A safe space for dialogue on responsibility, collaboration, and direction
-
A strong foundation for behavioural, cultural, and structural change
-
Opportunity for follow-up and long-term benchmarking
