Self-Assessment
If you want the truly low-cost board review but still want the insight you can get from Independent Audit, Thinking Board can be used stand-alone for your self-assessment.
Thinking Board can be used for board, committee and individual director assessments, and views can be sought from a group of individuals which extends beyond Board members.
You can use the themed questionnaires to focus on specific areas. Or the risk governance module to help you look at how the Board tackles its risk and risk management oversight. Picking up on different areas helps keep the review fresh and less repetitive.
It also contains modules for the Audit Committee to use in its assessment of internal and external audit effectiveness.
You pick up the questionnaires and then make them your own – it’s fully flexible.
It’s easy to use. You don’t even really need any introductory training but we’ll help you get started with a quick tutorial if you want it.
Thinking Board make a difference to your self-assessment because it helps you:
- Ask interesting questions that get to the heart of the board effectiveness equation
- Use different questionnaire and question structures to make the process more engaging
- Analyse the results more easily, using comparisons between groups of respondents and charts to highlight the key issues
- Save time, producing charts and a draft board paper automatically.
If you’d like to see a quick demonstration video go to Thinking Board. But the best way is to see it for yourself. Please use the contact form and we will call you to arrange a demonstration.
