Board Assessment Tools
Top-performing sports teams, at both the professional and collegiate levels, have mastered the practice of self-assessment — the often challenging process of objectively identifying their own weaknesses using rigorous evaluation methods.
These weaknesses may be evident in performance data or highlighted by impartial external reviewers. In either case, the objective is to determine how an organization can minimize its vulnerabilities, particularly during periods of limited preparation. The same principle applies to corporate boards worldwide. A thorough process of self-examination, while potentially challenging for short-term morale, can significantly contribute to sustainable, long-term growth.
