Board Evaluations

Board Evaluations

Emergence follows a structured and systematic approach to board evaluations. This ensures that all relevant issues are covered and that performance gaps are identified, their root causes understood and that plans are put in place to ensure continuous improvement in performance. This approach is summarised below:

Figure 1: Board performance evaluation approach

 

 

Step 1: Who will be evaluated?

The following are typically included in the evaluation:

 

Body/Person to be evaluated

Evaluators

Board as a whole

Members of the Board

Each Committee as a whole

Members of the Committees

Board Chairperson

Members of the Board

Committee Chairpersons

Members of the Committees
Step 2: What will be evaluated?

Emergence has developed an Evaluation Framework to ensure that all critical aspects of Board performance are included in the evaluation to give effect to King IV.

Step 3: What methods will be used?

Our assessment will be conducted by means of questionnaires to be completed by each Board and Committee member. The questionnaires will take the form of statements that refer to aspects of Board, Committee or Board Member performance.

Step 4: What will be done with the results?

We will prepare a preliminary report covering the evaluation of the Board, Committees and the self/peer evaluation of each Board Member. The report will discuss in detail all significant issues raised during the evaluations plus training needs and recommendations for the future.
