This section is designed for those who have already decided to pursue or improve the practice of Policy Governance. It offers many explanations of key concepts, examples of processes, tools for doing your work and tips for growing in your ability to do it well. Please explore!
Improving skills in Policy Governance
Cultivating Group Responsibility
The Board must act as a single entity. To achieve this, the board members must learn to think together. This requires group responsibility.
Board Orientation
On occasion we get a cold call from a board that is following Policy Governance (note to self; following is not usually the same as using or practicing!) but feels that it has lost its way.
Ownership Linkage
Figuring out how and what to talk to your owners about is not intuitive. Policy Governance asks you to be purposeful in that connection, seeking perspectives, identifying missing voices and gathering unknown values for policy development.
