Governance
How EM can help
A critical success factor in managing an organisation is ensuring that it has the right structure and governance - which means sufficient and appropriate resources to get the job done and the diligent management scrutiny required for when problems arise.
The Experience Matters team has worked with a number of large government and private sector organisations to conduct a health check on existing governance arrangements and develop an improved governance framework and instruments including:
- policies
- roles & responsibilities
- standards
- procedures
- guidelines
- process maps
EM also provides advice on contingency planning and disaster recovery.
