See the strengths your board has — and the gaps it must close
Get a clear, structured overview of board competencies to support recruitment, succession planning, and stronger governance decisions.
Identifies Skills Gaps and Overlaps
A skills matrix highlights areas where the board may lack certain expertise, as well as where there may be redundant skills. This allows the organization to take targeted action to fill these gaps, ensuring a well-rounded and effective board.
Aligns Board Composition with Strategic Goals
As the organization’s strategic priorities evolve, the skills matrix helps align the board’s composition with these goals. This ensures the board remains relevant and capable of guiding the organization through change and complexity.
Guides Strategic Recruitment of New Directors
By understanding the board’s current skill set, the matrix supports targeted recruitment of directors with complementary expertise — particularly during expansion, market entry, or strategic change.
Supports Proactive Succession Planning
The matrix helps identify which capabilities may be lost through retirements or term limits, enabling early planning for smooth leadership transitions and continuity in governance.
Clarifies Development Priorities
A shared view of strengths and gaps supports constructive dialogue, focused development, and continuous improvement across the board.
Supports Diverse and Balanced Board Composition
By visualizing skills, experience, and perspectives, the matrix enables more deliberate progress toward diversity, balance, and stronger governance quality.
