In today's results-driven environment, board growth and development are extremely important. Many boards regularly assess their performance; however, a considerable number of self-assessment tools are off-the-shelf, boilerplate surveys and questionnaires. As a board grows in its understanding and sophistication, self-assessment tools must change to reflect the board's level of attainment and the organization's need for leadership.
Yaffe & Company, Inc. has developed a process enabling the board to assess itself in a meaningful way both at its current level of performance and at the level to which it aspires. We help develop board action plans in light of survey results. Subsequent surveys identify growth that has taken place, as well as areas that need improvement. Board leadership coaching, implemented as part of the process, further strengthens the governing body.
