Solid governance, the key to a healthy and efficient company

Governance is the backbone of your business. It represents all the rules and systems governing your company. When it is well defined and  fits your business, it strengthens the operations and ensures the business’ sustainability. Conversely, poorly defined or insufficiently formalized, governance can cause tensions between decision-making bodies and negatively affect the organization’s activities.

The importance of governance, an often overlooked reality

Too often, roles and responsibilities within management bodies are not clear enough. The symptoms of this neglect are multiple:

  • internal conflicts
  • lack of common vision
  • ineffective decision-making processes
  • unclear positions
  • lack of transparency
  • difficulty in planning the company’s succession

So many elements that affect the performance and sustainability of your business.

Make your governance a real asset

The M&BD Governance Audit offers a neutral and objective assessment of your governance. It provides  ideas for balancing and clarifying decision-making powers within the governing bodies.

Our experts conduct interviews with key people within the your organization. They carry out in-situ observations and analyze existing documentation in order to assess governance on 6 different areas:

The governance structure
We create map showing the organs and actors  involved in decision-making and at what level.
The composition of the organs
We give a look at the number and typology of people and profiles serving on governance bodies.
Assignment of roles and responsibilities
We pay particular attention to identify the mission of each body. We assess how roles and responsibilities are distributed both at the level of the bodies and at the level of the people who constitute them.
Relations between the different authorities
We analyze the mechanisms and communication flows between management bodies in order to identify possible sticking points.
Decision processes
We evaluate the decision-making and validation processes: What are the decision-making rules? What type of decision is each organ involved in? How well are the processes defined?
Operating rules
We analyze the level of formalization of the functioning of governance: To what extent is the functioning regulated and formalized? How often do the organs meet? How do the meetings take place?
