Governance Pathways for Owner- Operated businesses

Description

Exploring the options to support your clients to get started with an effective governance system.

Supporting your clients to start on a pathway towards good governance is an opportunity to expand your service portfolio, generate recurring revenue, learn new skills, build closer relationships with your clients and add more value to them.

Most owner-operated businesses in NZ invest little time and effort in implementing good governance in their businesses. For many the value is poorly understood and simply seen as too hard, too expensive and too time consuming. They don’t want to lose control of their business and they want to retain all decision making authority. It is simply a step too big and too far.

However there are several governance type systems available today that are more relevant, practical, affordable and easy to implement making them ideal for owner operated businesses.

An introductory workshop detailing the different options for business owners to bring some effective governance principles into their business without having to invest in a fully operational Board of Directors.

Effective governance is a fundamental part of running a long term sustainable and successful business.
In this webinar learn:

  • What is good governance for owner-operated businesses
  • Steps on the pathway towards good governance
  • Several different governance type systems that introduce good governance principles and disciplines.
  • Guidelines for deciding the right governance system for different business situations.
  • How to support your clients to get started on implementing a good governance culture

Join us for this practical one-hour webinar delivered by Helen Down, Director of Advisory Boards New Zealand and Certified Board Facilitator for The Alternative Board.
