Strong governance discipline is about enforcing decision effectiveness and getting the people, culture, accountability, and performance right.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are used to measure the effectiveness of governance within an organization. Here are some KPIs to assess governance effectiveness:
Strategic alignment: Measures the alignment of governance processes with the organization's strategic goals and objectives. Strategic alignment is the process of ensuring all organizational actions are directed toward achieving common strategic goals and objectives
Risk management effectiveness: Measures the organization's ability to identify, assess, and mitigate potential risks. Enterprise-wide risk management intends to manage enterprise risk systematically and effectively
Decision-making effectiveness and speed: Measures the time taken to make key decisions and the effectiveness of the decision-making process. Digital means change and speed. Fast decisions are made out of necessity. Effective decision-making in the digital era requires speed, flexibility, and collective wisdom
Inclusion: Measures the representation and engagement of diverse perspectives and backgrounds in governance processes. Inclusion starts with a thought process, a mind, besides the conventional understanding of diversity -gender, race, age, etc. Inclusion goes beyond getting the right numbers: Ultimately, you want the people to bring in growth by building a competitive edge (both internal and external) and innovation.
Transparency: Measures the availability and accessibility of relevant information to stakeholders. Transparency in a social context implies openness, communication, and accountability. The intent behind transparency should always be connected to business performance:
Accountability: Measures the extent to which individuals and teams are held responsible for their actions and decisions. The corporate board director with an accountability mind is learning agile, wise, courageous, resilient, and high-mature. Accountability needs to be well-embedded in the organizational culture. Behaving accountable is the result of a culture with values that need to be organized and nurtured
Ethical conduct: Measures the adherence to ethical standards and the promotion of a culture of integrity. The entire value chain needs to be continually realigned, engaged and improved so customers and stakeholders get their fair share, and the corporate brand can be built for long-term prosperity.
Resource utilization: Measures the efficient and effective use of resources, including financial, human, and technological resources. Create an environment that encourages the utilization and the flow of resources, and takes a holistic approach to managing resources for improving organizational maturity. Governance practices optimize resource alignment and improve
organizational agility
Compliance rate: Measures the extent to which the organization adheres to relevant laws, regulations, and internal policies. Compliance is the management discipline of designing and implementing effective steps to ensure that the organization actually complies with the laws and regulations relating to its operations.
Stakeholder satisfaction: Measures the satisfaction levels of key stakeholders, including shareholders, employees, customers, and regulators. There are ever greater abilities of businesses to create shareholders’ engagement for achieving desired business outcomes, such as customer satisfaction, employee engagement, business partnership, financial health, shareholder delight, etc.
Strong governance discipline is about enforcing decision effectiveness and getting the people, culture, accountability, and performance right. By monitoring these KPIs, organizations can assess the effectiveness of their governance structures and identify areas for improvement.
