It is a good practice to read through and review your Constitution annually to ensure it remains fit for purpose. And if there are changes required, it is important that these aren’t put off because the process seems intimidating or too difficult. Updating a constitution to stay in line with an organisation's evolution, is critical to governance and not as impossible as you might have thought.
In today’s video we discuss the process of making changes to your constitution; how to make changes and what to consider. If this is something you wish to do this will get you started.

Are you following Best Practice in governance? This term is utilised in many board discussions and is often taken as the ‘way’ of doing things. However best practice isn’t always “best” for your Board, especially when looking through the eyes of a high performing Board. In this video I’ll explain why, from the perspective of a high performing Board.
Does best practice make a better Board, or is it something else? Feel free to share your comments, head over to Right Source YouTube or LinkedIn.

There are many reasons why an NFP would look to merge or be acquired but like everything, a merger or acquisition is more likely to succeed if you have a plan or strategy to achieve it rather than just hoping.
In assessing the viability of a merger or acquisition it’s important to obtain the ‘why’ and the ‘common motivation’ for all in this process. In today’s video I’ll discuss the merger process for not-for-profits and touch on a few key areas for consideration.

What does it mean when you are a Treasurer of an Association moving to a Company Limited by Guarantee and then becoming a Director on the Board, and what affect does the role change bring?
Before we start thinking about the size and sophistication of your organisation, it’s important to see things from an operational perspective when defining roles and responsibilities. Some Treasurers of Associations, who look to understand the implications for their role when moving to a Company Limited by Guarantee, become a little overwhelmed or fearful. In this video I’ll explain this is not necessary and changing to a Company Limited by Guarantee can deliver benefits and clarity for all.
When moving from Treasurer to Director, what are your responsibilities - are they different or do they remain the same? And what is there to consider for all Directors on a board? Feel free to share your comments on our social media channels below.

In a business or work context, the phrase “better to be lucky than good” is one that I have come to associate with. On face value the phrase seems a little comical, but there is a meaning to this and one that I personally align to.
In doing this it requires an exploration of what being lucky means versus being good, in the context of business and personal success. Is it the lucky characteristics that drive your achievements? Or the fact that you are good at what you do?
Feel free to head over to YouTube or LinkedIn to comment and share your thoughts... do you consider yourself lucky?

What is an “in-camera” session at an NFP Board meeting? In today’s podcast I discuss the; what, who, why, when, and where… of the in-camera session.
When executed well, everyone stands to gain from the in-camera session, from the Board, the executive, through to the way the organisation creates an impact.
Does your NFP Board meeting include in-camera sessions? Share your thoughts in the comments on LinkedIn or visit our YouTube channel.

As a not-for-profit, are you clear on who your customers and beneficiaries are? In my experience, those that are clear on this perform better overall in terms of sustaining their organisation and delivering long-term impact.
In this video we’ll discuss customers and beneficiaries from both a for-profit and non-profit viewpoint. It’s useful to reflect on how they're different and why that might be a consideration for you.

When I think about the NFPs we work with, I would like to see that their impact endures. That the changes they made, the lives they touched is remember and continues to have ripples long after the NFP ceases to exist. Being in a NFP is about playing to win, while sustainability is more about playing not to lose. So, how do we make your NFP enduring? In this video we discuss what you might like to think about, the next time your Board broaches sustainability.

Is Financial Governance something unique to the NFP space? No, but it is needed, and it’s very obvious when an NFP doesn’t have it in place. Financial reports left to organically grow, can turn into lot of reports. This is something that is very painful to deal with at a Board level, so how do we turn these excessive reports into good governance?
I’m not talking accounting specifically, it is about having knowledge of these aspects and lifting what are “normal” accounting processes, into value added processes - fit for your NFP. In this video I discuss what Financial Governance is and why your NFP should put it in place.
