Board Value Index Summer 2026

Board Intelligence research with over 400 non-executive directors, CEOs, and CFOs across the UK, US, Nordics, and Middle East found that 86% say rigid processes and inconsistent frameworks contributed to a delayed, rushed, or poor board decision in the past six months. It identifies decision-making frameworks, role clarity, and information quality as the biggest obstacles to faster, more effective boardroom decisions. The findings matter directly to mid-market boards trying to tighten how they surface trade-offs and reach high-quality decisions under pressure.
