“Governance” is a buzzword with many interpretations. But mostly it refers to the systems, processes, and practices used to direct and control an organisation, community, country, or even a digital network. It’s about how decisions are made, who has the power to make them, how those decisions are implemented, and how accountability is ensured.
There are various types of governance, such as:
Corporate Governance
How organisations are directed and controlled. It involves boards of directors, shareholders, audits, etc
Public or Political Governance
How governments and organs of state make and enforce laws, policies, and regulations.
Data
Governance
Managing the availability, usability, integrity, and security of data or technology systems.
Environmental or Global Governance
Coordinated regional and global efforts to manage global issues like climate change or public health.
The key principles of Good Governance are:
- Transparency
- Accountability
- Participation
- Rule of Law
- Responsiveness
- Equity and Inclusiveness
- Effectiveness and Efficiency
Ordara believes that governance should promote values such as agency, generativity, equality and interdependence as standards for organisational strategies and operations to achieve a vision where everyone thrives. Governance frameworks must assist to maintain relationships within an organisation and how they interact with their external stakeholders.
A governance framework that promotes values such as agency, generativity, equality and interdependence, have the following key aspects:
- Intersectionality – People and organisations are all interconnected and indivisible parts of larger systems.
- Power-Sharing & Participation – Emphasizes inclusive decision-making where everyone has a real voice and influence.
- Care and Collective Well-being – Policies should be designed around human and environmental well-being, not just profits or power.
- Accountability & Justice – Ensures leaders and systems are accountable to communities, especially those impacted by their decisions.
- Transformative, Not Just Additive – Governance frameworks should seek to transform systems to be more just and equitable for everyone.
