Strategy, Governance and Planning

Strategic Planning

Strategic planning determines the purpose of your organization, the desired results and how they will be achieved. Typically these plans are for a period of three to five years.

Governance Reviews

Are you concerned that your Board is not operating as effectively as it could be? Is your governance model broken or ineffective? In either case you could benefit by engaging an independent advisor to provide an unbiased assessment of your governance framework. OTUS Group can conduct a governance health check to evaluate the effectiveness of your current governance model, research and evaluate alternatives, and provide recommendations on potential changes.

Governing bodies should conduct reviews of their effectiveness not less than every five years. An effective governance framework combined with instituting an ethical “tone at the top” are critical elements in managing risk and improving organizational performance.

Provided with an independent assessment of your board’s performance
