The spotlight on boards continues to intensify with increasing demands and scrutiny from a variety of stakeholders. – institutional investors, activists, the media, regulators and customers.

The challenge of creating long-term shareholder value in the face of short-term pressures, combined with ongoing developments in corporate governance, has resulted in the effectiveness of the board as a high-functioning team, taking on even greater importance.

A strategic, high-functioning board is well-positioned to navigate complexities and add value. For the board to most effectively serve as an asset, best practice calls for proactive evaluation of board effectiveness on an ongoing, as opposed to reactive, basis.
