Frequently Asked Questions

What is OnBoard's skill tracking feature designed for?

OnBoard’s Skills Tracking maps board director competencies — finance, legal, technology, industry experience, cybersecurity, AI governance, DEI representation — to support board composition planning, recruitment strategy, and succession planning. It is a board governance tool not an employee skills management or HR platform.

The board skills matrix maps each director’s competencies against the skill categories your organization defines — creating a visual grid that shows the board’s collective strengths, weaknesses, gaps, and concentration risks at a glance.

OnBoard supports an annual skills refresh workflow — connected to the board assessment cycle — where directors update their competencies as part of the governance review process. Administrators can track who has responded and follow up with non-respondents.

Skills Tracking produces a board skills matrix that maps director competencies to organizational needs. Combined with Board Assessments and Diversity Reporting, it forms a governance intelligence later that answers the questions auditors, regulators, and shareholders ask about board composition.
