Partnering with The Board Institute is your pathway to thought leadership in Corporate Governance
A partnership with The Board Institute provides your company the opportunity to offer your clients the gold standard of evaluation tools—providing them with the benefits that come from our superior methodology and benchmarking—better communication, clearer decision-making, improved corporate results, and reduced risk.
The Board Institute provides independent, comprehensive, online, customizable, enterprise risk management solutions to help boards become more effective. Rather than focus on external metrics and compliance mandates, TBI benchmarks the inner workings of a board to focus on areas they can control now. TBI’s board evaluation tools are director-driven, web-based surveys and analyses. The tools are designed to validate good boards, highlight strengths, reveal barriers to effective governance, and, in collaboration with leading board members and governance experts, provide information about response ranges and private commentary as well as pertinent rules, regulations and best practices for the approximately 70 issues addressed in each Index.
If you would like to help in our mission to improve board performance, please call us at 480-998-1081 or email us to learn more. index@theboardinstitute.com
