This tool was designed as a basic introduction to BoardEx, including a description of how the data is structured, as well as an explanation of key identifiers. Two data visualizations are provided to demonstrate different approaches to using the data. The first is an interactive network diagram showing how entities are connected. The second visualization illustrates the difference between CEO salaries and CEO total remuneration.

In a guided exercise, you will perform a search for a company’s board of directors and then download the list of names to Excel. The search results will include BoardEx’s data on the gender breakdown for the company’s board. Your instructor may have additional guidance regarding the use of this Teaching Tool.

The exercise requires a subscription to BoardEx.
