The board’s decisions and governance inform compliance and success for the corporation at large, with each decision also impacting managers, direct reports, customers and clients.
Knowing you have the right people on the board is essential, and this is where a board matrix from Your Say Surveys can be of critical help.
At its most foundational level, the board matrix is a tool that’s used to detail the skills, expertise, experience, and characteristics of different board members. It allows you to gain a deeper understanding of what is currently possible for your board based on the skills and competencies of those who currently make up the governing body.
As corporations evolve and redefine strategies, their board member needs may change. For example, if a company pivots more fully into the world of e-commerce and broader online offerings, then it may need a board member who has a more refined knowledge of cybersecurity needs.
Sometimes boards may need to make changes to reflect changes in their employee and customer base. If a company has cultivated a diverse range of customers and employees in more recent years, then the board may need to be diversified in kind so they can better meet the needs and concerns of their broadening audience.
So, a board matrix not only allows you to see what your current members bring to the table, but it can also help you make informed decisions about whom you may need to add to the board.
Common areas of focus with board matrices include details such as:
These details can be invaluable to boards so that they can identify where they need to make adjustments to the board’s membership structure so more people are adequately represented.
