50 Maxis Berhad | Annual Report 2013 Board Effectiveness Assessment The NC facilitates and organises the yearly Board Effectiveness Assessment for assessment and evaluation of the Board of Directors, Board Committees and individual Directors. The objective of the exercise is to improve the Board’s effectiveness, identify gaps, maximise strengths and address weaknesses of the Board. Self-assessment and peer assessment methodologies are used, and issues put forth for assessment are presented in a customised questionnaire. The Chairman of the Board oversees the overall evaluation process and responses are analysed by the NC, before being constructively tabled and communicated to the Board. In addition, the individual Directors also conducted self-assessments, the results of which were also shared with the Board. The criteria on which assessment of the Board’s effectiveness is carried out is developed, maintained and reviewed by the NC. They include, inter alia, Board’s and Board Committees’ composition, Board’s roles and responsibilities, performance which comprises strategy planning and performance, risk and human capital management, Board communications and conduct of the Board and Board Committees.
