Governance Assist

Governance Assist

What is an effective Board or Committee?

An effective board or committee is integral in enabling an organisation to fulfil its vision and mission. And yet, we understand that governance can be confusing with mixed messaging, unrealistic expectations, and impractical advice. 

 

Which is why we exist, to Assist.

Governance Assist is comprised of experts with real-world experience in leading boards and executive teams and who have a passion for providing realistic and practical advice.

We support the development or improvement of effective systems, processes, and structures to make sure your board and committee have line of sight to what’s most important to strategically manage governance risk.

We support you to know the right questions to ask so that your board doesn’t get lost in the details of operation management AND has line of sight to everything you need to govern effectively

Governance Assist will support your board to truly govern, and to govern effectively and efficiently
