• Identify areas for improvement in current governance practices, including board composition, structure, succession planning and risk oversight; 
• Determine the levels and types of compensation that is appropriate based on organizational size, sector, and the roles and responsibilities of Board members; 
• Institutional investor issues related to the appropriateness of Board compensation.
• Inform your board’s philosophy for designing executive compensation plans; 
• Benchmark your board’s strategic priorities; and 
• Compare relative time allocation to fulfilling key board activities.
