Five15 Board Effectiveness Model
How We Assess Board Effectiveness
Boards often focus on compliance and structure, but true effectiveness also includes the dynamic between people, leadership, and behaviours.
Our Board Performance Reviews are built around Genius Boards’ proprietary Five15 Board Effectiveness Model — a framework grounded in over 20 years of boardroom insight.
The model explores five key domains, each with three critical components, providing 15 powerful indicators of board performance.
- Structure – How the board is configured and complies with best practice.
- Demographics – What each director brings: time, skills, networks.
- Attributes – How directors behave and contribute as individuals.
- Leadership – How the Chair, CEO, Committee Chairs, and CoSec shape the board.
- Board Dynamics – The culture, cohesion, and challenge that emerge from how the board works together.
These dimensions work together to help us assess what’s working, where risks lie, and where performance can improve.
