Uganda Airlines

1.1 Board Skills Matrix

To ensure Uganda Airlines has a future-ready and well-balanced Board, you are requested to complete the Board Skills Matrix.

1.1 Board Skills Matrix

Dear Director,

Complete the Board Skills Matrix. Rate your proficiency in each skill area using the scale below, considering both your years of direct experience and any specialist qualifications (e.g. postgraduate degrees, certifications, board training, or recognised professional designations):

5 – Expert: 10+ years of applied leadership in the area, plus relevant specialist qualifications. Regularly advise, mentor, or represent others on the subject.

4 – Proficient: 5–10 years of solid experience with relevant education or formal training. Can lead discussions and provide strategic guidance.

3 – Competent: 2–5 years of working experience or practical exposure. May hold generalist or entry-level qualifications in the area.

2 – Basic: Less than 2 years of limited experience or informal exposure. No specialist qualifications.

1 – No experience: No experience or qualifications in this area.

Be honest. Focus on what you personally bring to the Board—not your organisation or team.

Submit the online form by 30th April 2025.

This matrix is a strategic governance tool to help identify Board strengths, fill gaps, and guide succession and committee planning.

External Board Evaluator,

On behalf of the Board Chairperson.
