Seminar - Carver! The Carver Model! The Policy Governance Model! Means, Ends, Executive Limitations.

You and your directors have probably heard all of these terms referred to often and wondered what the big controversy was about. Is this so-called Policy Governance Model (PGM) the solution to the governance/management issues that you and your board face in your organization? Is the Policy Governance Model really radically different?

Tom Abbott, B.Comm., CGA, CAE has developed a three-hour seminar that addresses these very questions. The seminar is designed for directors and staff who are seeking answers to their questions about the way the Policy Governance Model works in practice and how it can be implemented in their organization. This is an opportunity for you and your directors to obtain an independent and experienced perspective about the benefits and drawbacks of the Carver Model.

The topics that are covered include:

• The legal responsibilities of the board
• Core governance and management functions
• Policy Governance principles
• Policy Governance operating features
• The four different policy areas in the Policy Governance Model
• Policy development using the PGM
• The role of the board in resolving staff grievances
• The role of the board in strategic planning
• The role of committees under the Model
• The types of committees under the Model
• The three different performance monitoring options in the Model
• A example of a Policy Governance Manual.

The seminar also outlines how your organization can successfully implement the Policy Governance Model.
