Maximizing Board Productivity:
The Policy Governance® Opportunity for Canadian Business
Corporate governance done effectively, consistently and continuously requires well-defined policies that deliver a defined set of powers between the board and senior management. Yet, surprisingly many boards lack formal, effective policies and, not surprisingly, only a few can say that they are happy with board-management relations.
Add to this the increasing call by shareholders to separate the chair and chief executive role, and there has never been a greater need to reform and to systematize corporate governance. Learn more about the system touted by Sir Adrian Cadbury "as near a universal theory of governance as we at present have," a framework of principles with the power to propel Canadian businesses to new heights in progress, productivity, and excellence.
Renovating Parliament from the Inside Out:
Time to Create a New & Improved Democracy
Taking from her experience working at both the Canadian House of Commons and the Senate, Susan illuminates Parliamentary traditions that have entrenched an adversarial culture and that continue to hinder the ability of well-meaning politicians to make good decisions. She then proposes a "new and improved" democracy based on the meeting facilitation model already used by businesses, governments and organizations around the world.
