If you're reading this introduction, I can only assume you're thinking of joining the world of corporate governance or wondering if your organization's governance practices are providing maximum value. Perhaps you've been asked to join a board on one of the over two million non-profit organizations. Perhaps you're considering letting your name stand for election to a cooperative or a publicly traded for-profit corporation. Alternatively, you've worked hard and climbed the corporate ladder and are moving into a position that involves the executive suite, with governance responsibilities and direct contact with a board of directors. Regardless of how you arrived at this junction, it's flattering, exciting and an opportunity to make a positive impact or a significant difference, but it's also a serious responsibility. Some issues to consider include: understanding the purpose and importance of corporate governance, your role, responsibilities, and legal obligations. In addition, you're likely asking yourself, "Do I have the knowledge or experience in the skills needed, such as strategic planning, budgeting, financial and management accounting, internal controls, performance management, organizational culture and general management knowledge or business acumen?" In today's environment, the position of a board member or member of the executive suite requires knowledge in multiple disciplines. The information provided here will provide a solid base on which your organization can gauge their current Corporate Governance practices, or if you're just beginning your excursion into this world it will get you off to a great start and allow you to hit the ground running with confidence.
