Corporate Governance
cor-po-rate go-ver-nance [zn., ww.]
Corporate governance is a system of rules and processes that ensures that people can lead an organization well, efficiently and responsibly. A good corporate governance policy ensures correct alignment of the interests of all internal and external stakeholders of the organization, and society as a whole. It also ensures that abuses can be avoided and that organizations can grow purposefully and create added value.
“Corporate Governance is a verb”
Corporate Governance is never finished because our society and business context are constantly changing. Only when everyone involved knows what is expected of them - and what is not expected of them - can we work together optimally towards a better future for our organizations and our society.
Over the past 40 years it has become clear to me that there are 7 basic pillars for good governance. These pillars are structure, integrity, accountability, transparency, role awareness, culture and commitment. Only when these 7 pillars are anchored in your organization can your organization be optimally managed and you can avoid annoying pitfalls of corporate governance.
