Make Governance Work™
A governance and reporting framework, combined with a board platform, that elevates director focus to oversee the strategic matters that materially impact business performance, namely:
- Growth
- Change
- Risk
This unique, holistic solution takes the theory of governance and puts it into practice. It supports a shift away from time-consuming activity reporting towards a culture of accountability for outcomes, to make governance work across the organisation.
Meet the ever-changing challenge of modern governance.
The GovernRight Framework focuses your board and management team on the strategic matters that materially impact your organisation’s success: Growth, Change and Risk. It strikes the right balance between board and management, with directors focused on oversight and guidance while management manages daily operations. Your own governance data drives the board agenda, shifting the organisation from a culture of activity to a culture of outcome. Put simply, GovernRight makes governance work.
The Path to Modern Governance
Knowing governance is one thing. Putting it into practice is another. GovernRight guides your organisation, board and management team along four steps on the path to good governance.
Shift the mindset
A workshop built on practical models: “it’s not your money”, the Should Know Mindset, the 3 Hats of Governance and the Growth, Change, Risk Model.
Update governance content
A Build session develops outcome-focused content aligned to the Seven Pillars, producing an updated, targeted Governance Plan ready to embed.
Theory into practice
A digitised framework in a cloud-based platform produces a board pack focused on outcome over activity, positive assurance and oversight of Growth, Change and Risk.
Never standing still
Governance keeps changing. The seventh pillar closes the loop of continuous improvement, keeping your team alert to the evolving demands of modern governance.
