Whether your organization has been using Policy Governance® for years or you are interested in strengthening governance of strategic direction, this session will provide practical insights you can take back to your boardroom.

Communities are changing. Expectations are changing. Technology is changing. The organizations we govern today face increasing complexity and accelerating change.

Yet many Boards continue to rely on Ends Policy Direction that was developed years ago—or Ends that unintentionally describe what the organization does rather than the impact or difference it exists to make.

In addition, when Ends become too operational, too narrow, or too comfortable, they can quietly limit innovation, strategic thinking, and organizational impact.

Effective governance requires more.

It requires Boards to articulate a compelling vision for impact into the future —one that challenges the organization to create meaningful and measurable impact for the people, the customers, and the communities it serves.

Join GOVERN for IMPACT for an engaging, educational webinar that explores how one organization transformed its Ends into a bold vision for future impact.

Learn from a real-world governance journey.

Rather than discussing theory alone, this session follows the evolution of an organization's Ends—from where they were to where they needed to go.

Through a practical case study, you'll discover how a thoughtful review of Ends can:

  • clarify organizational purpose
  • strengthen strategic governance
  • inspire innovation
  • improve CEO delegation
  • focus organizational resources on meaningful impact
  • position an organization for long-term success

 

You'll leave with practical ideas you can immediately begin applying to your own Board discussions.

During this interactive webinar you will:

  • Examine two different sets of Ends Policies and evaluate their impact.
  • Explore how to transform "low-impact" Ends into bold, future-focused Ends.
  • Learn to distinguish activity goals from meaningful Ends.
  • Better understand how strong Ends create better governance decisions.
