Governance models have grown through the years. How do you determine the best direction for your financial institution, while also considering your board’s intent of representing customers, supporting your CEO, and committing to long-term safety and soundness? Speaker Jeff Rendel proposes a solution: a fused model that integrates back-to-the-basics governance, ongoing relevance for the changing nature of financial services, and a focus on service to customers. From these principles, your board can: design metrics for successful governance; establish the precise combination for board attention and activity; and produce a suitable balance of guidance, oversight, and representation.
