Who is accountable when Boards aren’t performing well?  Technically it is the members, but for those working in the NFP space this is not always an effective relationship and can be very nuanced. In this video I discuss situations that affect Board accountability and highlight why it’s important to be proactive. It’s not only when Boards are performing poorly that we should concern ourselves with this topic.

A Board must ultimately be self-aware, and to effectively understand they need to monitor and measure their performance and have a process embedded in its governance.

We are often asked if we help with NFP Boards that are performing poorly, and this often leads to some interesting conversations. 

The most common being what defines a poor performing Board and how you accurately judge poor performance. In my experience, looking into poor Board performance can be a very subjective exercise. Here I discuss some insights about how to identify poor Board performance, as well as what can help assist the Board to improve and serve the organisation’s purpose.

The history of director independence and how we have dealt with conflicts in the past, can assist and guide us in the future. How do you determine director independence in your NFP, and should you? There are unique considerations for NFPs, because they are set up by people who have a personal interest from the start, for example they been affected by an illness in some way or are heavily invested in a cause. So there is intrinsically, a conflict. Here I discuss what to look out for when considering director independence.

Have you considered the Federated Model structure for your NFP?  This week we continue the topic of Federated Models and discuss the benefits and opportunities.  I also deliver thoughts on when and why, NFPs don't merge.  While federated models can be a joy for some and frustrating for others, it is important to obtain clarity on your structure requirements.  The points raised here will aid the conversation, however if you have questions about federated model structures or NFP Governance, feel free to contact us.
