FAQs
What is governance management?
Governance management refers to the systems, policies, and structures that guide the inner workings of an organisation. It helps define who is responsible, how decisions are made, and what standards must be met across the organisation.
Effective governance ensures that organisational goals are aligned with accountability, compliance, and performance, and ensures inclusion is embedded from the top down.
All organisations strive for good governance, but it doesn’t happen automatically; it requires strategic focus and deliberate action. Leadership must establish clear policies, monitor implementation, and continually evolve governance practices to reflect changing needs and priorities.
To learn more about how inclusive leadership shapes effective governance, check out our blog on The Power of Inclusive Leadership.
What is the main purpose of governance?
At its core, the main purpose of governance is to provide a clear framework for how an organisation should behave. It establishes the processes and structures needed to support ethical leadership, effective decision-making, and long-term organisational success.
Good organisational governance ensures that you always act in the best interests of the business. It clearly defines roles, reduces risk, promotes accountability, and helps your organisation stay aligned with its values and goals.
Ultimately, governance plays a pivotal role in shaping culture by setting expectations around transparency, integrity and inclusion. It ensures that these values are consistently reflected in both strategy and everyday operations and creates a foundation for sustainable cultural change.
Why is governance management important?
In short, governance management is important because it prioritises accessibility and ensures it is embedded into strategy and operations, not treated as an afterthought.
It provides the structure needed to effectively implement inclusive policies, assign responsibility, monitor progress, and align day-to-day decisions with long-term goals. Without organisational governance, even the most well-intentioned leadership can struggle to deliver measurable results.
Beyond implementation, governance management helps organisations stay resilient in times of change or uncertainty. It allows faster and more informed decision-making, builds trust with stakeholders and reduces both regulatory and reputational risks.
When governance is implemented well, inclusion becomes part of the culture, not just an addition to the policy. Find out more about the business benefits of digital accessibility in our blog on how it boosts performance, trust, and ROI.
