Is governance helping your organisation perform — or creating friction?
Governance problems are not always immediately visible as governance problems.
They may appear as slow decisions, repeated escalation, unclear accountability, overlapping committees, unnecessary approvals or reporting that provides information without enough insight.
The GoldOurs Governance Self-Check is a practical diagnostic for boards, councils and executive teams. It provides six questions to help identify where governance arrangements may be creating friction rather than supporting performance.
Use the self-check to consider:
-
- whether decisions are being made at the right level;
-
- whether accountability is clear;
-
- whether controls are proportionate;
-
- whether committee structures are adding value;
-
- whether reporting supports effective oversight; and
-
- whether operational friction has become an accepted part of how the organisation works.
The self-check is not intended to replace a formal governance review. It is a starting point for identifying areas that may deserve closer attention.

Does our governance system help people make good decisions, manage risk and get work done?
