Advanced Governance Diagnostics

The FairShares Association’s governance auditing and diagnostic tools were strongly influenced by longitudinal studies and academic articles written at Sheffield Hallam University.

Key works include:

The advanced diagnostics are comprehensive – you’ll need 30 – 45 minutes to do them.  They are designed as both CPD tools to develop individuals’ capacity and as aids for organisation development so that governing bodies / social entrepreneurs can advance thinking from FairShares Model – Level 1 (Coaching/Social Audit) towards Levels 2 (Design Principles) and 3 (Reconstituting the Enterprise).  The diagnostics collect stakeholder perspectives on the governance principles that are operating in a selected organisation.
