Governance

What is it, and why is it important?

Governance is the act of governing the direction of an organization. It is essential in any organization, as it can lead to inefficiency and operational damage. This process typically involves defining the organization’s mission, values, and goals and sharing them with all employees. Executive leadership relies on the guidance and oversight of the Board of Directors (BoD) to craft and carry out strategies to meet the mission and vision.

The BoD and executive leadership remain informed of the organization’s performance against the established goals and work together to address any issues that may arise.

This also includes the process of hiring and maintaining competent individuals to carry out the organization’s vision and goals.
