Board Governance

Make your board more effective. Help your organization succeed.

Advancing your mission and vision. Living your values and principles.

If you’re a board member, whether you’re paid or volunteer, you’re busy. Every minute counts. Achieving effective board governance is a complex but necessary step towards realizing organizational goals, managing risks, and making full use of your resources.

No two organizations — or their boards — are the same. But all boards should be striving for what good governance brings.

Good governance supports great strategy and helps organizations succeed.

Our board governance team learned early on that a ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution doesn’t exist.

That’s why we approach your situation with a principle-based approach. We look at who you are, what your history brings, the resources you have at your disposal, and anything else that makes your organization truly unique.

Every IOG client has its own operational realities, personality, and history – the combination of which is its organizational DNA. It’s unique to you.

We start there.

Then, using a principles-based approach, we craft a needs-based, custom training program – just for you – and bring to bear the most relevant expertise available.

Our experts will show you how a fulsome, comprehensive approach to good board governance helps organizational leaders meet their goals.
