The Board EXCELerator: Management Edition is a staff-centred online course
for CEOs and management teams working with boards that use
—or are considering using—Policy Governance® principles.
The focus of the Board EXCELerator: Management Edition is on application and supporting the people responsible for turning board policy into decisions, reporting, and evidence of results.
What this course helps you do
By the end of this course, participants will know:
- how to translate board policy into clear, usable interpretations
- about sources of evidence that demonstrate results
- how to write focused monitoring reports for the board
- how to reduce ambiguity between board and staff
- how to connect day-to-day work with organizational purpose.
The aim is practical clarity (not perfection), so decisions and reporting become easier to manage.
How this course is designed
This course is designed for professionals with real accountability and is delivered through content that is:
- structured and self-paced
- grounded in real organizational work
- aligned with Policy Governance principles, with an emphasis on practical use
- presented clearly and, where helpful, with a light touch
- complete with handy downloads and templates.
Participants are supported in applying ideas to their own context. This helps teams develop shared understanding without imposing a single “right” way to work.
Who this course is for
This course is a good fit if you are:
- a CEO or Executive Director accountable to a board
- a senior manager involved in strategy, planning, or reporting
- an Executive Assistant, Corporate Secretary, Board Clerk, or staff member supporting the board
- a board member who wants to look at Policy Governance implementation from the CEO/staff perspective.
Policy Governance works by replacing ambiguity with clarity. That clarity reduces risk and improves accountability, but it can feel unfamiliar at first. That's normal. This course focuses on how the system works in practice so CEOs and staff can work confidently within it.
