Board effectiveness reviews – three actions that can make your assessments more impactful
The 2017 PWC Annual Corporate Directors Survey reported that, “46% of Board members think at least one existing Director needs to be replaced and 21% say two Directors need to be replaced.” How can this be the case, considering the attention focused on enhancing director selection and board evaluation processes in recent years?
