HighProductivity's basic principles of goverance.
Playing by the rules in a fair and effective process.
As obvious as it sounds, most governmance problems are a simple (on the surface) matter of either not having rules or not having rules being followed.
A readily accessible rule book.
A super easy method for changing the rules.
Never losing what progress you make.
Respect for the established traditions, philosophy and authorities.
Sensitive and proactive facilitation.
"Just the right amount" of process.
Too much and too complex procedures cause projects to fail just as often as too little. Our practice and experience knows that you have to have just the right amount of procedure stuff, and it has to be flexible to allow for more or less details and processes because the point of it all is the results, not the meetings, not the rules and the formalities and paperwork.
