Mission Statement

BoardProspects is the online professional community dedicated to building better boards.

We are committed to providing solutions focused on making the best match between boards and prospects - connecting individuals and organizations while providing educational

resources and tools to improve boardroom service.


History

• When: Founded in 2010

• Where: Corporate office in Boston, MA

• What: Web based platform providing solutions for connecting individuals (Prospects) seeking to join a board of directors/trustees, advisory board, or committee, together with private, public and non-profit entities (Boards) seeking individuals for Boards and Prospective Members


Market Drivers

• The traditional board recruitment system creates homogenous boards overlooking the need for independence and diversity. Women and minorities continue to be underrepresented in the boardroom. 2011 proxy year

produced 294 new directorships, 21% women and 14% minorities. Of S&P 500 boards, nine percent have no women and 12% have no minorities. Source: Heidrick & Struggles 10/2011

• Boards lack an effective selection system that properly defines the leadership required and objectively measures the talent of applicants.

• Developing leadership information systems for a board is key to validating progress, spotting trends, and developing early warnings for inevitable bumps in the road.

• 59% of Directors agree that the number one issue that keeps them up at night is unknown risks. Source: Forbes 12/2011

• 295 Private and Public Board members surveyed, 75% raised the importance of risk management education and systems as a means of building trust. Source: Heidrick & Struggles 10/2011


Industry Solution

• BoardProspects – an independent solution which disrupts the traditional boardroom recruitment process and provides the means for building collaboration and community engagement between boards and prospects.

• Our BoardSearch platform allows organizations (boards) and individuals (prospects) to initiate conversations and find the right match.

• We provide the tools and resources necessary to assist with the promotion of accountability and transparency in decision-making, streamlining the administration of board work, and reduce risk by providing directors easy access to experts, evaluation tools, and guidance information.

• Experts and educational resources are also made available to prospects and members, helping them to improve the probability of obtaining a boardroom seat and remain effective during their tenure.
