Better Governance and Effective Boards
Policy governing boards face increasing pressure to be accountable and transparent to their stakeholders. They are expected to be effective and open, and provide information that is accurate, relevant, and comprehensive. Failure to devote appropriate resources and attention to provide this accountability puts board members and their organizations at great risk. Event the seemingly best run organizations can benefit from better governance.
The Boards of federal, provincial, municipal agencies and commissions, not-for-profit organizations, crown corporations and other organizations with statutory or public interest mandates face unique challenges. The Thompson on Governance Website is designed specifically for members of such boards, and for their staff who report directly to them. The Website’s resources will increase their understanding of governance, board effectiveness, shared leadership, and governance as stewardship. It will provide them with the tools they need to improve the performance of their Boards and the organizations they oversee. It will also give them an opportunity to network with other board members and leaders from a broad range of organizations.
Specifically, The Thompson on Governance Website will help you define the proper roles of Board members, make better use of all information, manage risks, and implement more effective governance processes, structures, and systems. It will clarify the relationship between Boards and staff and show how Boards can focus on results rather than operations. In short, it will demonstrate how to transform your Board into a high-performing team.
