Governance & leadership

Clarity for the people
responsible for leading.

We help Councils, nonprofit and corporate boards, and executive teams strengthen roles, relationships, decisions and accountability in ways that fit their mandate and context.

What this work is for

Good governance makes responsibility visible.

The strongest structures are understood by the people using them. Authority, accountability, information and relationships all need to work together.

For nonprofit and member-based organizations, this may involve moving from a founding group to an established board, clarifying the board–staff relationship, renewing policies or preparing for a leadership transition. We shape the scope around the decisions you need to make.
