Diversity Assessment
Evaluate the diversity of the board and its openness to challenge and new ideas.
Diversity in the boardroom is a cornerstone of effective governance and high-quality decision making. A diverse board can challenge assumptions, avoid group thinking, and explore issues from multiple perspectives — leading to richer debate, deeper insights, and more resilient strategies. Directors indicate where they and their peers typically sit on carefully chosen indicators with diversity evaluated across four key dimensions:
- Cognitive Diversity - how directors think, problem solve, and approach risk
- Experiential Diversity - professional background, industry experience, and knowledge breadth
- Personality Diversity - interpersonal style, decision making approach, and communication preference
- Demographic Diversity - age, gender, cultural background, and life experience
Benefits:
Directors receive a baseline to broaden experience and perspectives that will enhance board‑management dynamics, stakeholder management and cultural alignment.
