The Importance of Board Analysis
Board analysis is the process of reviewing of the performance data and identifying patterns within company data. This helps boards concentrate their attention on issues that are most important, allowing them to support the organization’s strategic direction.
Boards are increasingly focused on culture, talent and risk management. They are also taking an active approach to succession planning. This includes considering other roles that aren’t in the C-suite, such as those in digital business and customer service.
In the end, any company’s strategy will only be effective only if it is implemented by its employees. To sharpen this, a lot of organizations are adopting new playbooks that can help them survive and thrive when economic projections are ambiguous or even dire. Boards that take a proactive approach to this issue help companies rethink their strategy and prepare for uncertain times.
The most efficient boards have a mix of openness, trust and collaboration. They are well versed in the business’s environment and are able to pose difficult questions to challenge management. They know their responsibilities as part of a dynamic that is owned by the stakeholders and can collaborate to bring about a positive change in the corporate culture.
While most boards have a two-tiered structure which separates supervisory and management, there are many different variations in the ownership structure and in the countries. Regardless of the specifics the majority of boards have the same overall duties.
