Research & benchmarks
Connect the experience of individual boards with broader questions about governance.
BoardResearch studies the functioning of boards, their relationships and the conditions for effective decision-making. We can develop research projects with organisations and groups of boards around a shared question.
The design, use of data and reporting arrangements are agreed for each project. Comparative findings require a suitable reference group and careful interpretation.
Thematic studies can complement individual evaluations. A well-defined question and a suitable research design are essential to meaningful comparison.
Explore a governance question across participating organisations, such as boardroom cooperation, decision-making or how boards use expertise.
Discuss a research question →Differences in composition, context and measurement matter. A benchmark is useful only when the reference group and the interpretation are appropriate.
Explore scientific perspectives →Bring together patterns in a form that supports learning. Agree in advance which results may be shared and how confidentiality will be protected.
Read about confidentiality →Start a conversation
Discuss the scope and purpose of your evaluation with us.
