Strategic Board Structure and Trustee Turnover

Volume 43

No. 14//

November 6, 2018

You, as Board President or Chair of the Committee on Trustees, may be aware that the heaviest-weighted of the ISM Stability Markers® (Fifth Iteration) is Letter A, the “Strategic Board,” valued at 24 points out of the 147-point Stability Marker array. Those 24 possible points are derived from the Board’s self-score on the Strategic Board Assessment II, an instrument summarizing the elements which, according to ISM data and studies, correlate most strongly with institutional sustainability. (By reviewing the scoring system for the Strategic Board Assessment II, you can see the research-informed weighting of the items and infer which of the 15 items correlate most strongly to the Board-driven ISM Stability Markers.) Keep these core elements in mind when considering Trustee turnover on the Board.
