Diversity of thinking across the board
Upboard is a new kind of offering, designed to enable effective and functional boards. We combine respected governance models with established psychometrics to produce outstanding governance insights.
Organisations can suffer from poor performance, ‘group think’ and distrust - at the board and executive level.
Knowing how individual directors identify risk, deliver value and manage relationships is key to having a high performing board.
Upboard Global provides that knowledge.
“I’m always a bit skeptical about these profiling tools (and probably nervous about what they will find) but was really impressed… it gave me a lens on a central board issue – namely whether one is more oriented to value creation or protection.”

The Upboard Global model
Delivering board-relevant insights, our unique real-time offering is fuelled by rigour and a discipline of thought, making Upboard Global uniquely placed to deliver behavioural governance solutions worldwide.
Unlike other psychometric consultancies, our data-driven and governance-specific insights make us the only solution who continuously identifies unique boardroom thinking and behaviour styles amongst chairs, NEDs and management teams.

Our model is designed to describe, explain and predict behaviour in the boardroom.
We call this Behavioural Governance
“We really appreciate the insightful interview on boardroom psychology; it captures so well how effective decision-making goes beyond just following regulations. The discussion on how boards must balance value creation with value protection, embrace diverse perspectives and foster psychological safety is spot on. It reminds us that decisions are deeply influenced by human dynamics, where ongoing self-assessment and open debate are essential to avoid groupthink and bias.”
We offer solutions for:
Director selection & onboarding
Individual director coaching & development
