A First Look at How Your Board Is Operating
This self-scoring worksheet is a simplified version of the Boards That Thrive framework.
It’s designed to help individual boards to reflect on how they’re operating across five systems: Governance, Operations, Planning, People, and Communication.
This worksheet supports basic scoring and reflection only. It does not identify system interactions, perception gaps, or diagnostic priorities, and it does not replace the full Boards That Thrive diagnostic.

Some boards use this worksheet as a standalone reflection tool; others use it to decide whether deeper diagnostic work would be useful. Both are valid.
