A full range of services. So your board can govern more successfully.
Every board has its own mission. Its own strengths. Its own weaknesses. Its own
issues.
Likewise, every board member has his or her own experiences that are brought to
the table. Their unique set of values. Their different ideas of how things should
be done.
The Governance Group not only recognizes the differences that are likely to exist
on a board, we celebrate the diversity and utilize it to the board’s advantage…something
that’s become a hallmark of Vince Battistelli’s work with boards and chief executives
for 25 years.
The areas that our services encompass are:

weaknesses, knowledge and practice gaps, governing infrastructure, and relationship
