Corporate governance & compliance
Use governance as a driver of performance — not a box to be ticked.
The problem isn’t the amount of governance. It’s the way we do it.
With regulation and reporting requirements on the rise — from ESG to SMC&R and s172 — governance can be seen as a handbrake on performance, as well as the cause of ballooning board packs.
But switch your mindset from “preventing bad things from happening” to “enabling good things to happen”, and governance can become one of your most powerful drivers of performance — as long as you give your organisation the right processes and tools for the job.
Are your governance tools and processes up to scratch?

Templates and training won’t fix your board pack
Training and templates are governance teams’ go-to fixes. But those who stop there rarely see long-term improvements.
Assess the quality of your board pack
Use this online tool designed with CGIUKI to find out how effective your board packs are and get personalised advice on how to improve.
How much do board packs cost you?
Your board reporting likely costs more than you think. Find out how much with our calculator, jointly built with CGIUKI.
