This PPT slide, part of the 53-slide Value-Driven Boards - Frameworks, Models and Tools PowerPoint presentation, presents a framework for understanding the role of an engaged board within the context of corporate governance. It categorizes boards along a spectrum from passive to dominating, highlighting the engaged board as a pivotal point. The engaged board is positioned centrally, indicating its crucial role in balancing oversight and involvement.
Three key areas are outlined: when the board should take charge, when to partner with management, and when to refrain from interference. The "When to take charge" section emphasizes critical responsibilities such as defining the company's purpose, selecting the CEO, and ensuring board competence and integrity. This suggests that the engaged board must be proactive in foundational governance aspects.
The "When to Partner" section identifies strategic areas where collaboration with management is essential. Topics like strategy formulation, financial goals, and risk appetite are mentioned, indicating that the engaged board should contribute to high-level decision-making while supporting management in achieving organizational objectives.
Conversely, the "When to stay out of the way" section outlines areas where board involvement may be counterproductive. This includes execution, operations, and non-strategic decisions. By delineating these boundaries, the slide underscores the importance of the board knowing when to allow management autonomy.
Overall, this framework serves as a guide for boards aiming to enhance their effectiveness. It provides a clear understanding of the engaged board's responsibilities and the balance required between oversight and operational involvement. The insights presented can help organizations refine their governance structures and improve board dynamics.
