Reviews for Getting Started with Policy Governance: Bringing Purpose, Integrity and Efficiency to Your Board's Work

What a truly outstanding and thought-provoking book. It changed how I work with Boards overnight and forever! If we all took the advice within the pages of this book, then organizations would deliver greater value to their owners and be better places to work. ?Dr. Jay Bevington, Assurance and Advisory Public Sector, Deloitte & Touche LLP This is a great read! Such a book is long overdue. It's comprehensive, accessible, and fills a big gap in the market. ?Geraldine Peacock, former chair, The Charity Commission
