What is governance? That’s a good question. Governance is defined as the set of policies, roles, responsibilities, and processes you establish in an enterprise to guide, direct, and control how the organization accomplishes its goals.

Every organization has unique needs and goals that will affect its approach to governance. No single approach will fit the cultures or requirements of all organizations.

Much is written on governance and there are different models.  Not to simplify it, the need for governance exists anytime a group of people come together to accomplish an end.

The way Moving Red Canoe approaches governance is by focusing on the central component, the essence of what governance needs to be competent at to move an organization forward; that is decision-making.

Governance is the process through which this group of people make decisions that direct their collective efforts. It is the art of “steering.”

The best decisions are not only the right decisions, but ones that can be embraced by those expected to implement them.

We can facilitate custom-designed governance sessions and conduct complete audits of your decision-making processes for any board or enterprise that seeks to be excel while being accountable and transparent.
