It is recommended that:

1.

the BoD and the SB should map the most significant attractors, perturbations, synchronisations, fractals and power laws for their functioning (par. 4.2.4);

2.

the BoD and the SB should develop a practical multi-annual evaluation plan, including the application of various evaluation methods (par. 2.5.7.4);

3.

directors and members of the SB should devote more attention to mutual trust, integrity issues and codes of conduct, and engage trained consultants (behavioural scientists for example) to this effect (par. 2.4.2 and par. 2.5);

4.

directors and members of the SB should use various techniques in meetings to reduce group polarisation and groupthink. This could include the devil’s advocacy, team in favour versus team against, and the nominal group technique (par. 2.5.5 and par. 2.5.6);

5.

the chairmen of the BoD and SB should bear in mind that they exert influence and occupy a key position with regard to team dynamics and the team’s potential for achieving the optimal result (par. 2.5.2);

6.

the chairmen of the BoD and SB should furthermore acknowledge that they play a key role in the fight for real gender equality at the top of Dutch corporations and that they should act in accordance with the responsibilities stemming from this role (par. 3.5.6);

7.

directors and members of the SB should formulate a more concrete diversity policy with clear goals and steps to achieve these goals (par. 3.5.5);

8.

directors and members of the SB should form a nationwide gender-neutral network that is open to persons from the outside. Starting up collaboration with existing networks can lay the foundations for this network (par. 3.5.3);

9.

members of the SB should form a sufficiently diverse selection committee for the search for new directors (par. 3.5.2);

10.

directors and members of the SB should follow, amongst others, diversity training courses and seek collaboration with behavioural scientists, among others, which will result in multidisciplinary cross-fertilisation (par. 3.5.5).
