Self-evaluations

What is it?

External support and guidance to supervisory boards that want to evaluate their own performance. The self-evaluation will focus on governance, team performance and individual contribution of the supervisory directors.

ABC also supports management boards that want to go through a self-evaluation process.

Why external guidance?

• Compliance with government requirements (see the Banking Code (Code Banken), for example)
• Freeing up the Chairman, so that he is in a position to participate fully
• External parties may spot blind spots and give impartial advice.
• The presence of external paries makes it  easier to raise difficult, personal matters
• External expertise helps  in process-related and governance issues

 When?

• Social expectation pattern requires  ‘good governance’
• Internal tensions are observed
• Communication between the Board and the Supervisory Board becomes difficult

How?

Depending on the situation, the intensity of the  intervention may be discussed.  However elements could include:

• Personal interviews with supervisory directors and other parties involved
• Presence at a meetings of the Supervisory Board
• Questionnaire
• Examination of several documents

Clients?

Supervisory Boards, shareholders
