Why PERFORMS

Boards shape the success of companies, yet traditional evaluations often stop at a one-off report. PERFORMS is different: a practical, digital framework designed for continuous improvement.


What is Nurole PERFORMS?

PERFORMS is a digital board assessment tool, built on the Nurole PERFORMS model. The PERFORMS model of board effectiveness gives a practical view of board performance. Built on decades of experience working in boardrooms with NEDs, Chairs, SIDs and CoSecs, PERFORMS can be used for both annual reviews and quick pulse check-ins after meetings to improve board performance.


Developed by Susan Stenson

Susan has worked with Nurole to develop Nurole PERFORMS. She has spent over twenty years working directly with boards from every angle, as a chief executive, non-executive director, company secretary, lawyer and consultant. Susan was previously chief executive of Independent Audit, a leading specialist in governance, risk and assurance, helping clients understand and improve the effectiveness of their governance. This experience has given her a unique understanding of the boardroom, including what makes a board perform well and the challenges facing boards. Her pragmatic approach to working with boards comes from seeing first-hand what works and understanding the human and dynamic context in which boards operate.

How it works

1. Your board members receive a unique link by email to complete a short survey.

Anonymous, fast, and thought-provoking, the survey takes no more than 30 minutes. Members rate their confidence levels across the eight core elements of effective board governance defined in the PERFORMS model.

2. View the results on your PERFORMS dashboard

Once you and your board have completed the survey, you can log in and view the results on your PERFORMS dashboard at any time.

3. Receive suggestions and benchmarks against other boards

Your dashboard includes relevant benchmarking against other boards. Identify your board’s strengths and areas for improvement, with practical suggestions you can implement immediately.

4. Drive meaningful conversations

Use the PERFORMS dashboard to spark real discussions about board performance. It provides a dynamic, ongoing view; far more effective than treating evaluation as a once-a-year event.

See it in action

Access your PERFORMS dashboard anytime, anywhere. View survey results on mobile, explore benchmarks across the eight pillars, and share clear, actionable insights with your board.


See how your Board measures up

PERFORMS is less about “compliance” and more about raising the bar on performance. Your results go beyond the numbers, combining detailed commentary with benchmarking to highlight strengths and pinpoint areas for improvement. By comparing your board’s effectiveness across all eight pillars of the PERFORMS model against a benchmark, you can identify where you excel, where greater focus is needed, and work with your board to continuously improve the quality of your meetings and overall performance.
