Summary of the Focus Group Results
GovernanceExcellence ToolKitGovernanceExcellence Focus Groups
Six Focus Groups were convened across Canada earlier to gain help in making sure that GovernanceExcellence was best focused on your needs. Nearly 100 Governance Professionals from large, small, private and public organizations participated through a combination of on-line survey and facilitated workshop sessions. Their enthousiasm for the Governance Excellence concept both encouraged us and helped to develop the initial modules now ready for Beta Test.
The survey and Focus Groups assessed areas and issues in governance for both their Criticality and the current Capacity in their organization to deal with these areas and issues.
