Good governance essentials: Building a foundation for exceptional performance
Ten out of 10 executive leaders agree: Good governance is a cornerstone of high-performing boards and organisations. But what does such oversight look like in practice? What strategies and tactics make good governance actually good — and which ones can enterprising board members and executives use to make it even better?
Roberts Rules of Order and well-run meetings are just the beginning of the story. You also need the right processes between board meetings, people setting the right tone at the top and technology every step of the way, to broaden the view and look around the corners into the future.
Organisations should use four essential elements to get started on their good governance journey:
- Security, protecting sensitive data and discussions from hackers, criminals and unauthorised eyes
- Efficiency, or how to get more done faster, without compromising accuracy or effectiveness
- Ease of use, so board members are focused on the business at hand, not frustrated by disparate databases and difficult software
- Clarity, bringing the right information to the surface at the right time, in a way that sharpens understanding and expedites smart decisions
