International governance guidance principles combined with leading practices and modern technology.
Govn365’s CEO Gerry Lynch and founder Mike O’Brien became ISO 37000 certified shortly after its release and developed the Govn365 board evaluation and organisational assessment alongside it’s 11 key principles. Govn365 takes these principles from silos and moves them into horizontals that sit across all ten critical areas of business, bringing them to life and giving pathways to industry leading practices.
ISO is the International Organisation for Standardisation. They develop and publish international standards for a range of business activities: Quality, Environmental Management, Health and Safety, Energy Management, Food Safety and IT Security. ISO standards are internationally developed and agreed on by experts and are generally considered as formulas that describe the best way of doing something.
ISO 37000 Governance of Organisations was published late 2021 and gives organisations a guidance tool for governance. It includes principles and key aspects of governance practices to help organisations meet and fulfil their governance responsibilities.
The Govn365 governance evaluation not only assesses your board, but the entire organisation too. It was developed alongside the international standard for governance, ISO 37000, and industry leading practices to offer chairs, directors, chief executives and senior executives a comprehensive business evaluation. A Govn365 consultant will support your team through the process ensuring everyone is heard, groupthink is avoided and answers are unbiased. The governance evaluation process in itself has proven to align teams and improve communication leading to faster decision making and increased board efficiency.
The Govn365 platform has goal setting software that enables businesses to set individual goals for each of the ten key areas of business outlined in Govn365. Use the board evaluation insights to drive your board’s strategic planning and create goals that are relevant to your organisation.
