Benchmarking board performance report

“Over the past 20 years, I have reviewed and helped improve more than 250 boards and overseen another 250 board reviews. Those reviews have given me deep insights into the good boards, the bad and the ugly too” says Nicholas Barnett, Executive Chairman of Insync.

We are excited to announce, together with our sister organisation Board Benchmarking and our Board Advisory Partners from around the globe, we have now conducted over 500 board reviews.

To celebrate we have put together this report to share our research, learnings and insights into what makes a highly effective board. Inside the report, you’ll discover:

  • Our 27 key learnings: Extracted from our initial 500 board reviews, highlighting the most critical takeaways
  • Measuring progress: A comparison of the first 250 reviews with the subsequent 250, offering a comprehensive overview of boards’ development
  • A glimpse behind the scenes: Providing a unique perspective on the intricacies of board evaluations
