the Policy Governance model

The Policy GovernanceÂŪ model is the only existing comprehensive governance model that covers all aspects of board governance. This operating system for boards has been developed by Dr. John and Miriam Carver, its integrity is protected by a registered service mark. The model is often referred to as “Carver governance” or the “Carver model.”
