Monitoring and Evaluation for Governance Course
Introduction:
The effectiveness of governance-leadership approaches plays a crucial role in determining the company's ability to achieve its objectives. By evaluating the goals set forth in the governance-leadership strategy, the company can assess whether the desired outcomes are being achieved. To measure the effectiveness of governance-leadership initiatives, specific scores, typically ranging from one to nine, are assigned to expected results. A lower score indicates a lower level of effectiveness in governance-leadership.
