Good governance lies at the heart of all successful organisations and institutions.
Good governance will help protect your organisation from poor decisions and exposure to dangerous risks.
Good governance can transform your organisation's performance from top to bottom.
Poor governance, on the other hand, could have a major negative impact on the future existence of any organisation.
Poor governance may expose individual board members, chief executives, company secretaries and other directors to the threat of personal liability and loss of reputation.
Many organisations have ignored the importance of good governance or never really understood what good practice is and have paid the price for their failure.
Poor governance has contributed to spectacular failures for banks and multinational companies, like Enron; NHS trusts; local authorities; housing associations and charities.
