About Governance Solutions: The Ultimate Guide To
Product Description This is not just a book "about governance," it tells you how to "do governance." Authors David A. H. Brown and Dr. Debra L. Brown deliver: Proven Governance Solutions: It is a single source—the ultimate guide—for solving your governance problems. Access: It includes almost 70 governance concepts and tools that are unique only to this book. Competence and Confidence: It covers the broad spectrum of governance issues from governance structure and process, through boardroom leadership, culture and behaviour. Answers! It tells you not only what works, but as importantly what does not work in governance. This is the ultimate guide for board members and executives regardless of sector-private, public and not-for-profit. Whatever the jurisdiction in the world, this guide remains a highly relevant resource. Designed to build both competence and confidence, its principle-based approach allows any reader interested in governance to benefit from its solutions and tools. Practical and comprehensive, everything you need to succeed in the boardroom can be found in this one place. There are principles, tools, and clear explanations of the board's role for all five levels of governance: strategy, risk, policy, people, and resources. And it includes profound insights into, and tools for, boardroom culture and behaviour--those less tangible but substantial aspects of effective governance, oversight and leadership. This ultimate guide will deepen the governance understanding of even the most seasoned leader. Readers will understand the depth and breadth of how to add value and provide strategic oversight to any organization. From the role of the board in strategy and risk oversight, effective policy setting and compliance reporting, successfully navigating the board's relationship with the CEO, succession planning, and protecting and stewarding the company's financial and other resources, to governance systems, committee structures and meeting processes, this book has solutions designed to help you succeed and excel.
