board diversity

Equip Your Board With the Talent to Succeed

At a time when diversity is more important – and more necessary – than ever, who sits around the boardroom table matters. A consistent focus on board composition can help you build the most effective board possible.

  • Benchmark the skills of your board and spot potential gaps
  • Make board refreshment and succession planning a priority
  • Run a more diverse, equitable and inclusive nominations process
  • Keep a pulse on what shareholders and stakeholders are saying about your board

You’re Only as Good as Your Reputation

In a data-driven age where information is available all the time, it’s vital that you don’t lose track of what’s being said about your organization – and that you have the tools to quickly remedy problems as they arise.
  • Keep a pulse on what shareholders and stakeholders are saying about your board, and see if your composition is coming under public scrutiny
  • Leverage the latest research tools to analyze, classify and group news stories to highlight areas of risk and opportunity
  • Precisely tune your corporate strategy and oversight based on the most current data
