How engaged are your board members?
Fully engaged: all board members contribute at meetings;
Partially engaged: some board members contribute at meetings;
Passively engaged: board members contribute relatively little at meetings and decisions tend to be based on agreeing management recommendations.
If your board members are nothing less than fully engaged, it’s unlikely that they will be committing their "hearts and minds" to achieving the organisation’s goals and visions. Over a period of time, this could make the difference in achieving the necessary growth and cost savings to ensure long-term sustainability.
This deficiency could be costing your organisation thousands of pounds each year in lost opportunities. This is where Investing in Governance comes in. Investing in Governance is a new board evaluation framework. It is designed to enable boards to assess their governance against best practice, and to make changes to improve performance.
The Investing in Governance board evaluation framework contains 69 governance practices designed to reflect the breadth and depth of processes involved in running a board, recruiting and inducting board members - through to supporting and reviewing their individual performance and that of the whole board.
