External board performance reviews - understanding the process

Regular and timely evaluation of performance is critical to the optimal running of an organisation. Boards should regularly review their effectiveness, the skills and experience on which they can draw and the organisation's wider governance arrangements. An external board performance review objectively highlights strengths and weakness and assesses the capacity to deliver the long-term objectives of the organisation.

In this session, we explore the panellists' experiences of undertaking an externally facilitated review, how the processes were handled, and the pitfalls and benefits they brought to light.
