Your essential checklist for making confident, informed boardroom decisions.
For many aspiring and experienced Non-Executive Directors (NEDs), being invited to join a board is a defining moment – but it should never be an automatic yes.
Each opportunity presents a unique combination of influence, risk, and responsibility. Whether you’re seeking your first NED role or building a dynamic portfolio, knowing how to interrogate the opportunity is vital.
That’s why we created ‘Assessing Board Opportunities: A Practical Guide for NEDs’ – a free, downloadable tool designed to help you ask the right questions before stepping into the boardroom.
Too often, NEDs accept roles based on prestige, urgency, or personal connection, only to discover unclear expectations, cultural misalignment, or limited scope for real impact.
This practical guide gives you the tools to assess:
Role clarity – What are you really being asked to do?
Board dynamics – How decisions are made and challenge is received.
Values and alignment – Does this organisation reflect your purpose and principles?
Governance maturity – Are the right structures in place to support your contribution?
Red flags – Financial, reputational or leadership risks that may not be visible at first glance.
