Board Governance Value


Organisations maximise stakeholder value. This technique shows how governance drives value. Boards add value by governing strategic change via monitoring, resources and decisions, shaped by context (Klarner et al., 2023).

Technique Overview

Board Governance Value

Board Governance Value Definition

Board-level governance concerns how internal actors, external actors and the board interact to direct the corporation for value creation. Accountability extends beyond managerial opportunism on behalf of distant shareholders; value is created across the whole value chain, and boards are accountable for a broad set of tasks (Huse, 2007).

Related Concept: Collating and Formatting Data

Before any analysis can happen, data needs to be collated from correct sources and formatted so it follows clear organisational standards. Research shows that inconsistent structures and formats make data harder to combine, process and trust (Jagadish et al., 2014). Collating and formatting ensure the dataset is clean, consistent and ready for use.
