P9 Effective governance using governance wheel
NCVO’s unique Governance Wheel is a powerful
diagnostic, development and evaluative tool. Built
on sector best practice and NCVO’s rich history
of organisational support, the Governance Wheel
provides a clear framework for boards to assess and
demonstrate the effectiveness of their governance.
During this interactive workshop you will be given
the opportunity to use the Wheel and assess your
organisation’s governance. Through discussion with
peers, you will start to think of practical ways to
improve the governance of your organisation and
therefore ensure that it works effectively towards
achieving its mission.
