Policy Review - Maintaining Policy Governance Principles

If your board has been using Policy Governance  for some time, or perhaps has implemented the model without outside assistance, you may benefit from an external review of your policies.  This review can identify for your board’s consideration:

• “Ends” policies that do not meet the Policy Governance  criteria for Ends 
• Unnecessary “prescriptions” in Limitations Policies
• Better organization to apply the “policy sizes” principle 
• Suggested improvements for clarity
• Other areas in which your policies may be inconsistent with Policy Governance principles 

Monitoring Report Assessment - Improving Your Board Monitoring

The CEO may find this service of particular value.  The Governance Coach will provide written suggestions for improving monitoring reports so that they are consistent with best practice application of Policy Governance principles.

Governance Audit - Compare Your Governance with Policy Governance Best Practices

The Governance Coach will provide a written assessment of current governance practice compared to best practice application of Policy Governance principles, based on review of written documentation, including policies, monitoring reports, board minutes and a written survey of board members.
