A Board Assessment Built for Action
It’s easy to get lost in a numbers game. The guiding light of the Board Excellence Assessment is: “How do we get the right discussions on the table?” The questions, insights, and even how we present the visual data all intentionally point your board towards the topics and dynamics that will make the biggest difference (far from mere compliance) for your specific context.
Customizable for Your Board Context
Different organization types have different needs. The Board Excellence Assessment’s offers questions adapted for corporate, nonprofit, and church boards. The right language is important: you can also choose your own terms (eg. "CEO", "ED").
Built on a Proven Governance Model
The Governance Excellence Model (GEM) has guided boards toward greater effectiveness for over 20 years. It's explained in depth in The Imperfect Board Member by Jim Brown, a best-seller that gives your board a shared language for governance excellence.

Is the BEA Right for Your Board?
This Assessment Is For You, IF:
- Your board is committed to your organization's health and effectiveness.
- Your board genuinely wants to identify areas for improvement, and intends to take action on what they learn.
- Your board is prepared to give a good effort towards thoughtful reflection, candid sharing, curious listening, and respectful discussion. (Willingness to try is the key here.)
- You are a corporate, nonprofit, or church board.
- You have a budget for quality governance tools.
- Your board members agree that sometimes growth is uncomfortable, but share a vision and commitment to improving together.
This Assessment Is NOT For You If:
- You are an advisory board or committee (this is for governing boards).
- You don't have budget and would need to use free or low-cost assessment options.
- Your board is in acute crisis and needs immediate intervention (doing any assessment can make it worse, not better).
- Your board wants to do due diligence, but isn't likely to address any underlying governance issues or growth areas.
- Your board wants to know their "score" (we don't give one; we provide visual data and insights).
