Two new books co-authored by Aspen Group Senior partners Linda J. Dawson and Randy Quinn have been released. "Good Governance is a Choice" is a detailed presentation of The Aspen Group's own Coherent Governance® model, and is both an introduction to the model for boards interested in exploring Coherent Governance principles and a continuing reference guide for boards using the model.
 The second book,"Boards That Matter," is a step-by-step guide for implementing both Coherent Governance® and Policy Governance®. For boards that have adopted either model, it is a no-nonsense recipe for translating theory into practice.
Both books are published by Rowman and Littlefield Publishers. Copies may be ordered directly from the publisher (www.rowmaneducation.com) or from your favorite book store. |

We know boards. Whatever the issue, we have dealt with it. |
All boards want to add value to the organizations they govern. Too often, however, leadership issues, organizational limitations and external challenges lead to frustrations that disappoint even the most dedicated board members. Where do they turn for help?
Our work has taken us to most of the 50 states and to three continents as we have consulted with hundreds of those boards. During the past 12 years,
our work has centered on Policy Governance®, the
model
created by John Carver, and more recently on our own variation of that
model, Coherent Governance®.
The evolution to Coherent Governance has
created the means for
boards
to govern at a level of excellence unprecedented in our experience. We
believe Coherent Governance to be the most viable "operating system"
available today for boards committed to lead, rather than micro-manage,
the organizations they serve.
In our experience, most board members find themselves embedded in a governing environment lacking any systematic and defined way of getting meaningful work done. Consequently, they struggle with role definition, and frequently find themselves disappointed because they are unable to add value to the organizations they purport to lead.

If boards are to succeed in the challenge to add value to the organizations for which they are responsible, they must find the way to become simultaneously more active, but less intrusive. We know how to help them do that.
