Governance Assessment: A Powerful Process for Building Governance Gain

A comprehensive governance practices and performance assessment engages the board in a wide-ranging evaluation of its overall leadership performance. It enables boards of trustees to better understand their strengths and weaknesses, and develop action plans to improve board performance, close governance gaps and create real governance gain. Conducting an evaluation of the board’s effectiveness is an opportunity to engage the board in evaluating what it does well, and where it needs to improve.

In addition to our governWell™ assessWell™ toolkit, The Walker Company now offers a comprehensive and robust governance practices and performance assessment service.
