The IOG can evaluate your organization to ensure that you have a proper governance framework.
Governance principles may have many formulations, but include the following dimensions:
- Legitimacy and voice
- Direction and purpose
- Effective performance
- Accountability & transparency
- Fairness & ethical behaviour
Our proprietary tools, such as the Governance Scorecard® and the Governance Continuum and Autonomy Index ® can be leveraged to support your organizational objectives. Governance has many definitions, but at their most all include the following dimensions:
- Who makes decisions?
- How are decisions made? (process, institutions and voice)
- How is account rendered?
For the Autonomy Index®, our methodology is to evaluate five (5) categories via key weighted indicators: 1. Mandate/Policy Autonomy; 2. Operational/Managerial Autonomy; 3. Appointments; 4. Reporting Oversight; and 5. Legal Personality.
The IOG Governance Scorecard® provides a more systemic diagnostic of the legal framework as well as the relationship between key public institutions; and between institutions and citizens. Many models of scorecards identify and track the progress of organizations, without a broader understanding of the environment. The IOG Governance Scorecard® recognizes that decisions involving public policy are not made in isolation of a range of factors within and outside of the formal control of a government. The IOG recognizes that all governments are facing a new, complex environment and that a broader more organic “systems-check” is a more effective way of measuring good governance. The principal drivers underlying the IOG Governance Scorecard® are as follows:
