Board Governance is a simple concept. Yet, when boards begin to move from “managing” to governing manager’s, emotions, myths and misinterpreted laws and regulations often get in the way of a harmonious transition.

Governance is mainly about clarifying roles for greater success and efficiency. Governance policies keep the board actively involved in holding the Executive accountable for results obtained using the authorities received from the board.

After this session, participants will know:

• Where dysfunctional micromanagement begins and how to draw that line in the sand.
• Where governance policies fit in the organization’s hierarchy of guiding and controlling documents.
• The impact of governance policies on board and management fiduciary duties and how to maintain compliance
• How to begin the process of deriving two levels of policies, Governance, and Operating Policies.
• How to begin the delegation process while maintaining operational control.

Program Length — Makes a good 1.25-hour breakout or a motivating general session keynote for a volunteer conference. When presented to a single organization plan on a highly interactive half-day.

Primary Audience: Directors and the top Executive
          As a private workshop for one organization, the full-board and top management team (the later is negotiable). 

Other Notes:This workshop can be expanded by becoming more experiential. As a private workshop for one organization by delving into the current governance structure and identifying actions to take.
