In this newest book on the Policy Governance approach to board
leadership created by John Carver, Caroline Oliver gives readers
practical, hands-on tools for getting the most from the system in
the day-to-day operation of their boards. In the Policy
Governance Fieldbook, Oliver explored the experience of 11
organizations that succeeded and failed in using Policy Governance.
Now, she has drawn upon the most important lessons from that
experience as well as her experience in helping many more
organizations along the Policy Governance road to governing
excellence. The result is a wealth of tools and resources for
helping readers to:
* Decide if Policy Governance is right for them
* Identify and link with owners
* Develop means policies
* Create Ends policies
* Monitor Policies
* Run meetings
* Evaluate
* Plan for the future
