We create value for the further development of your supervisory board
Why is a regular evaluation and self-assessment of the supervisory board useful?
The evaluation of the work of supervisory boards, also referred to as efficiency review, effectiveness review or (self-) assessment of the supervisory board's work, has established itself as an essential instrument of good corporate governance. It does more than simply check compliance with regulatory requirements and enables a fact-based, systematic and forward-looking further development of the supervisory board.
The strengths - but also the obstacles - of effective and future-oriented board work are identified and formulated.
The role and self-image of the supervisory board is sharpened.
All areas of responsibility of the supervisory board are reflected upon in order to further develop the board in a 360° perspective.
The competences for dealing with current challenges are identified and developed.
The working methods, discussion culture and interaction of the board are strengthened.
The cooperation and provision of information to the management board, investors and other stakeholders is expanded.
Best practice and benchmark comparisons support the board in classifying its working methods.

The motives for an evaluation or self-assessment of the supervisory board are heterogeneous. In addition to the regulatory requirements resulting from section D. 12 of the GCGC for listed companies and from § 25d para. 11 nos. 3 and 4 of the German Banking Act (KWG) for credit institutions, the expectations of stakeholders regarding a regular evaluation of the functioning of the supervisory body play an important role. Structural and personnel changes in the board as well as the desire for further development or the need for a benchmark comparison are further motives to reflect on the status quo of the supervisory board's work and to initiate improvements through the evaluation. Last but not least, the change in supervisory board work has been discussed in many different ways for a long time. The current debate focuses in particular on the implications of corporate transformation processes for supervisory boards and their work. Supervisory boards use the evaluation to optimally prepare and adapt their work to the transformation processes.
