For Boards Deck - One Good Question

Good governance needs more than reports, motions and a full agenda.

One Good Question for Boards contains 24 carefully chosen questions to help boards think together about purpose, attention, decision-making, stewardship and their role in the organisation.

The questions invite boards to notice what may be receiving too much attention, what remains difficult to discuss, whose experience may be missing and what the organisation needs from its board now.

This is not a governance checklist or board evaluation. It is a simple reflective practice that can be used within an ordinary board meeting.

Draw one card. Allow a little quiet thinking time. Invite each person to respond. Keep the focus on the board’s role in the organisation.

Inside the box:

• 24 board reflection questions

• 1 board instruction card

• 100 × 100 mm square cards

• 350gsm matte card stock

• Rounded corners

• Two-piece presentation box

One good question is enough.
