Monitoring
Policy Governance gives you many options for assessing whether or not the behaviors and results measure up to expectations in policy.
Over the last few years, monitoring teaching and practice have evolved significantly. In our work with, and on, boards, we have found that monitoring as it is being taught today can be both powerful and enlightening but that it requires a new way of thinking about assessment.
