Our Approach
​Recognising every board is at a different stage of their governance journey, at BoardLens Advisory we offer a menu of products and services that allow you to design your own board reviews and solutions. For the best board experience, we recommend a full board review every 2-3 years with a lighter review in between to check progress. For a significant change to the board or company, full board reviews are also recommended.
Quantitative Benchmark Surveys​
We have partnered with Board Benchmarking, the gold standard in governance surveys, to offer 360 degree board effectiveness surveys.
​​The surveys use the world recognised WhatWhoHowDo framework, covering up to 20 dimensions that have been psychometrically validated to correlate strongly with board performance. Based on your need, there are four surveys to choose from (see below).
Each board survey report will include benchmarked data from similar companies by size and sector, from a database of 600+ board reviews, and a set of recommendations to help boards improve performance and remain competitive. ​


Qualitative Board Reviews
As part of the Board review process, we offer virtual or in person confidential interviews to deep dive into individual survey responses and find critical insights for action.
​
We also offer confidential interviews with management and other key stakeholders such as partners, customers and the public to gather feedback and identify areas for improvement.

BOARD Strategy Retreats
Board strategy retreats are pivotal moments for organizations and are opportunities for directors to step away from operational pressures, engage in deep reflection, and set a course for long-term success.
When well-executed, these retreats can realign priorities, strengthen governance, and drive strategic clarity. However, their effectiveness often hinges on how they are structured and facilitated. Using our framework and network of partners, we are confident to design and execute a retreat relevant to your priorities and needs.
Topics could include:
✔︎ Future industry trends and disruptors
✔︎ Risks and opportunities
✔︎ Board strategy
✔︎ Board/management effectiveness
