Breakthrough Talks: Elevating Governance

Unlock the power of effective governance with Breakthrough Talks: A strategic approach that fosters inclusive, action-oriented conversations, driving long-term success and sustainability for your organization.

Effective governance is a team effort among decision-makers to reach long-term goals and consider the overall impact on the organization.

When governance is working well, you'll notice that the organization has:

  • The structure, responsibility, and clear direction needed for success.

  • Actions and decisions that align with the organization’s vision, build trust, manage risks, monitor performance, involve others, ensure legal and ethical standards, and support long-term sustainability.

  • The ability to handle challenges, achieve goals, and create lasting value for everyone involved.

To achieve this, it's important for your governance team to have strategic conversations focused on long-term goals, opportunities, risks, and the bigger picture. These discussions help decision-makers think beyond immediate issues and plan for the future with a broader perspective. We call these discussions: Breakthrough Talks

Breakthrough Talks: A way of talking with each other that helps us see things differently and find new ideas.

What’s involved:

  • Reflect: We get ready for the discussion by knowing why we’re talking and what we want to do.

  • Create: We have open conversations where everyone shares their ideas and asks questions.

  • Transform: We think about what we talked about, decide what to do next, and see how we can do better.

These steps help make sure our conversations are inclusive, clear, and lead to action.
