Test Your Board's Readiness for the Post-COVID Era

By: Lynn S. Paine
  • Format:Electronic
ShareBar

Abstract

Research suggests that well-run boards take the process of self-evaluation quite seriously, often using a combination of director surveys and personal interviews to assess the functioning and effectiveness of the board, its committees, and its individual members. As boards prepare for their next round of self-evaluation, they will want to assess their capabilities and readiness to govern in the wake of COVID-19. This list offers a guide to the kinds of key questions and statements they should consider adding to their surveys or interview protocols.
