Keeping an organisation on track can be a challenging task. With over half a century of experience working with almost every kind of organisation conceivable, from small businesses to listed multinationals to government departments, I know well the pitfalls and how to avoid them and build a sound organisation with a well-informed and educated board of directors. I have published various books on financial management and corporate governance, gaining the endorsement of Sir Adrian Cadbury, the father of modern corporate governance, for my work in this area.Through the Applied Corporate Governance (ACG) brand, I help implement systems and procedures to ensure your organisation’s progress towards its goals remain on track, through our unique holistic approach which includes the Five Golden Rules of corporate governance:☞ Ethics: a clearly ethical basis to the business☞ Align Business Goals: appropriate goals, arrived at through the creation of a suitable stakeholder decision making model☞ Strategic management: an effective strategy process which incorporates stakeholder value☞ Organisation: an organisation suitably structured to effect good corporate governance☞ Reporting: reporting systems structured to provide transparency and accountabilityOur website, set up in 2009, is packed full of articles, opinion pieces and in-depth case studies.We also offer tailored training for your organisation, from individual lectures to 5 day in-house courses.
