Tool: / This is an example Board Skills Matrix Tool
Purpose: / The Board Skills Matrix Tool has been designed and developed as a simple but concise tool that a board can use to assess individual director’s skillsets, qualifications and board terms. The tool combines these assessments of all directors and provides a snapshot of the board’s key skills and competencies.
This tool is not designed to provide a comprehensive and detailed skills assessment of individual board members.
Usage: / Step One: Fill in your organisation’s name and logo throughout the tool.
Step Two: Refer to the example on page 2, review each column or row to ascertain the typical type of information or content that would be documented.
Step Three: A board’s governance committee usually completes and forwards the tool to the whole board.
Step Four: The board can use this tool to discuss current and future skillsets and board positions.
