Surgent's The Power of Positive Governance: The Foundation of Organizational Growth and Success (PGOV)

Description

The term "Governance" has continued to receive heightened emphasis from legislators and regulators over the years. History clearly shows us that the major, high profile "scandals" of recent years as well as further back in our past, were rooted to a very large degree (if not completely) by the lack of, breakdowns in, or simply inadequate/ ineffective Governance from the top. Governance deficiencies are not isolated to the large and high profile organizations. Governance affects all businesses/ organizations indelibly. While authoritative/ reference guidance surrounding this topic of Governance can be extremely general/ conceptual, confusing, and vague at times, a sound "Governance" framework is vital to the ethical and profitable running of an enterprise. As such, the ability to effectively assess (and self-assess) the Governance structure and processes of an organization can provide enormous value to the major stakeholders of a business (or non-profit).

This program is focused on providing individuals with an empowering platform for better understanding the intricacies and core elements of "good governance" and identifying strategic opportunities and practical application drivers for building (and/ or enhancing) a positive, proactive Governance framework for organizations, one that promotes and supports a sound, principled based, growth opportunity oriented (GO2), sustainable foundation for ongoing success!
