The Board’s Role in Ensuring Organisation Sustainability
Denise Morton, Specialist Advisor
Effective Governance• Effective Governance is part of the HopgoodGanim Advisory
Group and is the largest and oldest specialist corporate governance advisory firm in Australia. We operate nationally and internationally. Our mission is to deliver measurable value to our clients by assisting them with their governance, strategy and risk needs.
• The firm was founded in 1998.
• We combine academic research with practical methods that have been developed in the field with clients.
• Our experience covers the full spectrum from family companies, not-for-profits, government-owned corporations, statutory authorities, publicly listed companies and large multinationals.
• We believe that in order for Governance to be effective it must be specifically tailored to the type of organisation and their industry dynamics.
• That said, each will be at a different phase of their lifecycle and will have their individual challenges at a governance level.
