(NAPSI)—Your organization can be more profitable—and even more fun to work at—when the board is running well. Yet even the best board can sometimes do with a little improvement. Dysfunctions can range from challenges with different personalities and agendas to lacking a unified system of record, or rather, an inefficient, ambiguous approach to documenting goals and milestones, measuring performance and demonstrating accountability.
Questions To Contemplate
Consider these eight questions to determine if your organization’s board could be better run:
1. Are we providing the transparency and accountability that’s expected?
2. Are we as productive as we should be?
3. Are we all on the same page with our mission and vision?
4. Are we setting and monitoring the right goals to move our organization forward?
5. Are we anticipating and managing change proactively?
6. How is the onboarding experience for new board members?
7. How effectively are we engaging with stakeholders and the community?
8. How secure and compliant are our systems and processes?
