Evaluation of the board of directors
What can you expect?
GUBERNA offers companies tailor-made support in evaluating their board of directors. We are convinced that board evaluation is an essential part of a continuous improvement process. By incorporating an explicit evaluation moment, you can actively work towards an optimally functioning board of directors by identifying areas for improvement or attention. National and international codes also consider board evaluation as a criterion for good governance.
Our service is designed to meet the specific needs of our members. With our years of experience and accumulated knowledge, we aim to provide you with the best possible support. You can request our reference list for more information on our expertise. GUBERNA has developed its own evaluation methodology that takes into account the unique characteristics of your organisation. To ensure objectivity, we are not involved in the concrete implementation of the action points or recommendations proposed.
How do we proceed?
GUBERNA offers two main options for evaluating your board of directors:
1. Evaluation Based on a Tailor-made Questionnaire:
- We develop a custom-made questionnaire tailored specifically to the characteristics of your organisation and board of directors.
- The responses are analysed to identify areas of improvement and focus.
2. Evaluation Based on Individual Interviews:
- We conduct individual interviews with directors to gain in-depth insight into the functioning and dynamics of the board of directors.
- The results are aggregated and analysed to make targeted recommendations.
Take a look at our Board Self Evaluation Tool. A practical digital tool that allows an organisation's board to reflect on its performance and identify and implement concrete action points to improve board effectiveness.

Testimonials
Our board of directors was very satisfied with the services provided by GUBERNA, particularly by GUBERNA’s summary of the findings of this approach, as well as by the recommendations which were both interesting and useful. In such an evaluation, the added value of GUBERNA comes from their input on best practices as well as the external, objective approach they take to assess the governance quality and functioning of a board of directors.
