Corporate Boards That Create Value: Governing Company Performance from the Boardroom

by John Carver, Caroline Oliver

This book applies John Carver's highly successful Policy Governance model to corporate boards. Carver and boardroom consultant Caroline Oliver explain the world's only conceptually coherent operating system for boards. This simple yet profound system clarifies roles, empowers directors and senior management alike, and makes accountability feasible to a previously unattainable degree. The authors suggest a redefinition and elevation of the value that boards should create and show how to apply the Policy Governance design to commanding company performance. Corporate Boards That Create Value gives corporate directors and all who care about governance a powerful tool for success.

[Miloš Grujić · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is aimed at corporate boards and would be best read along with other books on Carver governance. The Policy Governance model described in this book provides a solution. Book provides the clearest and most straightforward explanation of the principles necessary to responsible governance.
I highly recommend it, not only to corporate boards but to the governing boards of any organization.
