Board evaluation process & methodology
Our team’s evaluation methodology adds value every step of the way.
Step 1
Consult with you to design a custom evaluation
Customisation requires understanding your needs. Our team will review your organisation’s information to tailor the evaluation process and develop questions based on your industry, business model, governance structure, and more.

Step 2
Gather written responses from your board
After we deliver unique evaluation links to your directors, it’s easy for them to submit responses through the Nasdaq EnGauge™ platform. Responses are auto-saved so directors can pause and revisit the evaluation as needed. Plus, you have the ability to monitor evaluation completion rates.
