  9. 9. CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE STARTING: 9 • A light touch exercise which is focused on the board • What is the underlining health of the trustee relationships? • Requires a level of transparency and honesty • A willingness to surface and discuss areas for improvement • Based on perceptions and without assurance and/or verification IS THE GOVERNANCE WHEEL THE RIGHT TOOL?
  10. 10. HOW WILL YOU RUN THE EXERCISE? 10 • Who will facilitate the exercise and discussion? • What level of anonymity do trustees want, and what degree of anonymity is appropriate? • Do you need to combine the exercise with other review work, for example, a skills or diversity audit? • How do you want to involve other stakeholders and in particular senior managers in the review?
  11. 11. USING THE GOVERNANCE WHEEL 10 Excellence Excellence: a level of mastery beyond where many boards get to. A role model for other organisations. 9 Opening to excellence: taking good governance and leadership to a higher level and aiming to be a role model for other organisations. 8 Competence Moving beyond competence: starting to think beyond compliance and good practice to best practice. 7 Achieving competence: new practice becomes established. Governance is sound and the board works well to provide a leadership role. 6 Getting a grip Putting plans into action: getting started and improving the way the organisation and the board works; challenging past practices. 5 Getting a grip: taking responsibility for improving governance and starting to provide leadership. 4 Aware Aware and looking for solutions, though hoping someone else can sort things out fairly easily, or doesn’t see the identified solutions through 3 Aware of some problems; having niggling concerns but no solutions. May accept help if offered but are unlikely to seek it. 2 At risk At risk and largely unaware: there is some discomfort and occasional worry among some trustees. 1 At risk and unaware: the board is not functioning and is unaware of risk. For each principle of the code the wheel sets out: • a set of questions, designed to prompt thinking and generate discussion • a set of descriptors on a 1-10 scale to help establish a score.
  12. 12. USING THE GOVERNANCE WHEEL • Each trustee (and senior manager) works through the eight principles of the code and allocates a score of 1-10 • Collate the results and plot these on the wheel • It is useful to explore the range and mean figures • Consider findings alongside desk work • Opportunity for you to reflect on the scores and difference • A focus on improvement areas – rather than strengths
