Policy Governance® Basics: Jumpstart Your Understanding (E-BOOK)

You’ve become a member of a board that uses the Policy Governance® model. Board members speak of Ends, Executive Limitations, and Governance Process. These are all policies, but what do they really mean? What is monitoring all about? What is your role as a board member and what is the CEO responsible for?

The Governance Coach™ has assisted a wide range of boards to implement the Policy Governance model and our team has become proficient in its use since 1994. Over the years, we have written books, tool kits, articles, and blogs. In this small book we have dipped into that store of writings to bring you a cross-section of material about the basics of Policy Governance. If your board is just getting started with this governance system designed by Dr. John Carver, or if you are a new board member on a board already using the system, these short articles will help you jumpstart your understanding of its use and unlock the potential to make your governance add real value.
