Using an agreed grid of skills and experiences to search for new board members
With an agreed grid of skills and experiences needed in future years
Deploying a range of methods to attract candidates
Providing substantial information to inform the electorate
Giving board members a wide range of experiences during their induction
Leading to a board that has all the skills and experience to provide excellent governance
Appointing and evaluating the Chair
A board that uses a range of methods to recruit candidates for the role of Chair, and appropriate methods to select the Chair
Who ideally was a member of the board before becoming its Chair
Whose performance is evaluated with input from board members
Overseeing organisation performance
A board that uses ‘traffic lights’ or similar to track performance against plans
That reviews the organisation’s risk register at least once a year
Where the Chair reviews the Chief Executive’s performance once a year
Taking input from board members and the senior management team if appropriate
Performance of governance
A board that formally reviews its own performance every 1-2 years
That uses a range of methods to review its performance
And spends at least 2 hours per year striving to improve its own performance
That formally reviews individual board member performance at least every 2 years
And that systematically reviews the performance of board members before they stand for second or subsequent terms of office
And that publishes attendance at board meetings by individual
