Evaluate committees quickly and comprehensively

Committees are where the Board makes focused impact. Committee evaluations provide a high level overview of each committee, and granular detail around the capabilities and behaviours in specific committees. The BoardOutlook committee evaluation is a quick, simple way to measure performance.

Focused evaluations tailored for each committee

Specific templates are available for all standard committees, including Audit, Risk, Remuneration/People, Nominations and Sustainability. You can also tailor the templates for your committee structure quickly and easily.

Full coverage of all areas of committee performance

Templates cover all key areas of committee performance, including:

Committee/Board interface
Committee chair leadership
Committee composition and renewal
Topic specific responsibilities
Committee culture
Committee/Management relationship
Committee process and papers

Run integrated with board evaluation, or on a standalone basis

You can choose to integrate a Committee Review Process as part of your broader Board Review Process, or to run it on a standalone basis. In any case, participants can be customised to include relevant members of management (who may not participate in a broader 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.
