FIRST WORKSHOP SESSION: TRACK 2 - Learning from Practice
The purpose of this session is to facilitate and stimulate CEOs and Boards to cut through all the noise about ‘monitoring’ and find an authentic, ethical approach to proving legitimate success and compliance to the Board of Directors. The session will engage participants in exploring innovative ways to capture data for monitoring.
Participants will:
- Understand the real Monitoring Report preparation challenges experienced by the CEO in translating Board policy into real world impact.
- Understand the essential ingredients for successful policy interpretation – not just for monitoring but also for achieving focus for the people of the organization.
- Learn how a Strategy Map can be a useful tool within the organization to communicate the Ends Interpretation targets and related strategy to work toward in a focused manner.
- Examine the usefulness of using a Balanced Scorecard approach to both capture the beneficiary data needed for Ends Monitoring and also the operational process data, the people/organizational learning data, and the financial data which help the CEO understand the factors contributing to the actual beneficiary outcomes being achieved.
- Be exposed to the different thinking and approaches regarding ethically real monitoring results, while knowing that doing so will impact the Board’s overall performance assessment of the CEO.
- Explore the resource base required for effective measurement, ranging from very basic resources to full measurement operating functional departments within organizations – how do CEOs right-size their measurement efforts?
- Gain insight into how long-term, experienced CEOs sustain a passionate approach to monitoring over the years.
