The Power of Monitoring

• What should be included in a monitoring report
• What should not be included and why?
• What does a good interpretation look like?
• What constitutes evidence?

Future-Focused Agendas

If you are a board member, CEO, or administrative staff member who supports board function, you will learn:

• What to do if your board has put policies in place, and is saying “So what do we do now?”
• What to do if your board is feeling “stuck” in doing the “mechanics” of Policy Governance, rather than focusing on governing well
• What to do if your board has policies in place, and is now feeling complacent
• How to reap the real value of the Policy Governance® model by moving to a whole new level of governance leadership

Policy Governance^® and Administration

For Executive Assistants, Board Secretaries, Board Assistants and other Administrative Staff who wish to successfully enhance their board’s activities.

Your Backstage Role in Policy Governance smoothes the way for an effective board to govern, rather than focus on the details of the processes. Discover the relevance of specific Policy Governance principles for your supporting role! Obtain Practical Tools and templates to simplify your job!

How to Eat an Elephant - Ownership Linkage

Ownership linkage is the process of deliberately engaging owners in a constructive dialogue about the organization’s purpose. It is a key element of the board's job, and an essential part of creating Ends. To many boards it seems such an overwhelming job that it feels like trying to eat an elephant. This session will break that elephant into some "bite-size" pieces, examining key elements and actually creating a "perpetual" comprehensive ownership linkage plan.

• Who are your owners?
• How do you "get to" them?
• What about "representative" input?
• What kind of questions do you ask?
• What do you do with the information when you get it?
