As groups grow in size their governance structure must also evolve. Smaller groups are often governed by consensus with all partners having equal say in all matters. However, as groups grow in size it is often impractical for all members to participate in the management of the practice. As such, a new governance design will allow your practice to respond to the changing needs of the practice. Elements of governance design include:
- Board and Executive Committee structures
- Management vs. Governance
- Roles and Responsibilities
- Decision making process
- Accountability
- Practice Code of Conduct
- Coaching and Mentoring
