520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. The book provides an insightful and practical guide to converting the failing board into one which succeeds, with governance as the driver of the high-quality decision-making decision-making which helps an organization achieve its strategic objectives more effectively and efficiently. The author believes that governance is a commercial discipline, providing a fundamental underpin to the process of value creation, value protection and value preservation. Governance drives the quality of strategic decision-making that helps an organization achieve its strategic objectives more efficiently and effectively. The high standards of governance create competitive advantage, a concept as applicable to not-for-profits and public sector bodies as to commercial entities. For organizations pursuing this approach, governance becomes a liberating theology, and a critical business enabler. This book resonates with professionals operating across international jurisdictions, and is inclusive rather than exclusive. The book emphasizes, and demonstrates, that governance is a live issue, an ongoing priority area of board focus, with developments occurring around the world on, literally, a daily basis. It identifies good practice and progressive thinking across sectors and geographies. It builds on thought leadership and case studies, as well as regulatory guidance and Code principles. It offers new models and approaches based on real-life experience.
