Board Performance Evaluation Tool - Powerful Reporting

The BoardOutlook Platform delivers dramatically better board evaluations

Challenging, engaging, thought provoking. The BoardOutlook intelligent approach to evaluations gets people thinking, and talking.

Review the behaviours and capability of your Board as a whole, whether you’re looking to satisfy regulatory requirements, support board renewal or improve performance.

The right questions for every type of board

BoardOutlook uses research supported questions, tested for efficacy across hundreds of organisations. We have multiple frameworks ready for boards of all challenges and maturity levels. These frameworks intelligently dive deeper, asking directors for behaviours and examples ensuring a substantial level of qualitative feedback. All templates are customisable - you can adapt our existing questions or choose to build your own template from scratch through our online editor.

Powerful summaries, benchmarks and trends

The BoardOutlook platform gives you the benefit of data and benchmarks. Understand board/management alignment, longitudinal trends and compare the behaviours of your board and organisation to those of others in similar industries facing similar challenges.

A dynamic survey experience that’s much more like an interview

Rather than the traditional survey experience, BoardOutlook uses dynamic questions that dig deeper to understand behaviours and circumstances. Whilst no two people experience an identical survey, the structure and framework ensures all key topics are covered in an unbiased manner. This dynamic approach delivers a large amount of qualitative feedback, providing rich, easy to interpret insights.

Prioritise actions

Move from a static PDF to an interactive action framework that allows all directors to flag issues in the report and propose actions. This action framework automatically generates an issues paper that can be used for board discussion around next steps. The board can elect to allocate or follow up actions at a future point in time (which are automatically tracked for the next board review).

Beautiful reporting, instantly

Instantly release beautiful reports in PDF or online, without the hassle and risk of powerpoint or excel. Use interactive online reports or download detailed PDF reporting and summaries to include in your board pack.

Confidentiality and security by design

Traditional board review processes introduce substantial confidentiality risks through data collection and compilation of results. BoardOutlook eliminates the risks of uncontrolled and unencrypted digital and physical artefacts that increase the risk of inadvertent data breach. Using BoardOutlook gives your board the protection of end-to-end security and encryption, supported by annual audits and penetration tests.

Automatic follow up and workflow management

BoardOutlook provides end-to-end workflow management to ensure a hassle free board review processes. The BoardOutlook platform automates follow-ups and reporting, saving days of time and hassle.

Customised to your board

All BoardOutlook templates are customised through the onboarding process, with specifics such as your committee structure, stakeholders and operating units. If required, you have full flexibility to customise questions and template structure. Add or remove questions and change wording to focus on specific areas of most relevance.

Questions that generate real performance discrimination

Many of the traditional questions used in board evaluations get answered the same way by good and bad boards alike. BoardOutlook uses a set of tested qualitative and quantitative questions that are evidence based, and in a format that is difficult to 'game', getting to the heart of performance quickly.

Fast deployment and turnaround (live in hours, reports in weeks)

BoardOutlook has no integrations, which allows rapid deployment (your organisation can be live within hours). Automated reminders, report generation and workflow management mean board review processes are completed in weeks, not months.

A superior user experience designed for boards

BoardOutlook is designed specifically for the unique challenges of board users. The platform is built around beautiful surveys and deep reports designed just for the challenges of boards. All of this means directors find the platform intuitive and enjoyable to use. The full BoardOutlook toolkit (surveys, reporting and skills matrix) is usable with full functionality on phone, tablet or desktop. Perfect for busy directors on the go.

BoardOutlook enables you to take a broader view of governance performance, including the management team (without traditional cost or scheduling barriers). Reporting is segmented to enable easy understanding of the consistency and variance between board and management.
