BoardClic, the leading digital platform for board performance reviews and CEO evaluations, has entered into a sales partnership with Board Intelligence, a market-leading board portal and AI-powered report-writing software provider. We sat down with BoardClic’s founders, Monica and Malin, to dive into the problems BoardClic addresses and the ways technology is transforming governance.
Why did you set up BoardClic?
We founded BoardClic in 2018 with a vision to transform the world of corporate governance. With over four decades of experience in board advisory and top executive search, we wanted to change how board and CEO reviews are conducted. The traditional approach was manual and analogue, and we believed that technology could simplify and democratise this process, making it accessible to any organisation, regardless of its size or structure. Through BoardClic, our goal has been to enable sound corporate governance and increase stakeholder value.
What problem does BoardClic solve?
BoardClic addresses the traditionally manual and time-consuming process of board and CEO performance reviews. Our platform empowers organisations to track performance, alignment, and composition over time. In essence, we provide a digital, time-and-cost-effective alternative to conventional board reviews, allowing them to be done in hours rather than weeks.
