BOARD GOVERNANCE
YOUR PATHWAY TO EFFECTIVE GOVERNANCE
Good governance is key to ensure an organization achieves its objectives, implements its strategies and uses resources effectively. Boards have an ultimate responsibility and accountability for the organization’s actions and must uphold the interest of the organization and its stakeholders. When proper governance practices are in place and the right people are in the boardroom, Boards of Directors are able to perform at a much higher level than Boards without these components.
Our governance services:
- Evaluation and Reviews – Measuring performance to help boards seize opportunities to become better.
- Education and Training – Delivering high-impact, plain language governance training to help boards understand their role and adopt best practices.
- Bylaw and Policy Development – Reinforcing the board’s ability to do its job through careful document review and drafting.
- Strategic Advice – Providing support and guidance when challenges arise.
- Succession Planning – Ensuring board strength now and into the future.
Developing strong governance practices that fit an organization’s specific type, size and need, is a critical step to becoming an effective and high performing board.
