Developing Governance Guidelines
  • The Governance Guidelines establish a framework for Board composition, dynamics, succession planning, and evaluation of the Board of Directors.
  • They provide guidance on objectives, expectations, and feedback, adapting to governance challenges.
  • It serves as a dynamic tool to address both present and future realities of board leadership. 
  • Reviewed regularly, they remain a relevant tool for board leadership.
Board Composition
  • Effective Board governance builds trust, transparency, accountability, and informed decisions, driving long-term stakeholder value.
  • Board composition must balance fixed elements (size, competencies, diversity, mindset) with dynamic ones (tenure, staggering, varied experiences, and role flexibility).
  • The aim is a diverse, balanced Board that embodies and advances the organization’s values and purpose.
Review of Board Dynamics
  • Effective Board collaboration is key to upholding values and shaping corporate culture for long-term success. 
  • Essential factors include expertise, trust, transparency, and commitment. 
  • Balancing constructive engagement without becoming a “feel-good oasis” or over-accommodating diverse personalities is crucial. 
  • We assess and enhance Board effectiveness through observation of meetings and analysis of board functionality.

Governance guidelines foster transparency and promote an open culture of discussion among Board members.
