Executive Governance Review Service

Clarity, Accountability, and Alignment 

​

Governance that drives delivery

Why it matters

Executive governance is the engine room of institutional strategy, but when decision making structures become unclear or overloaded, progress can stall. Vice-Chancellor and senior leaders need governance that enables pace, clarity and confident delivery. 

​

Too often, executive committees and groups evolve without strategic design, leading to duplication, bottlenecks, or blurred accountabilities. That can slow down decision making, dilute focus, and create risk. 

​

At The Hiveworks, we work alongside your leadership team, and in close collaboration with the University Secretary or Clerk to the Board, to make sure your executive governance supports confident, strategic decision making and regulatory assurance. 

What We Offer

Our Executive Governance Review service is designed for institutions seeking more effective leadership structures, streamlined committees, and clearer routes for oversight and escalation. Whether you need a quick diagnostic or a full redesign, we can help. 

Our Approach

We know that every institution’s governance landscape is different – shaped by size culture, structure, and recent change. That’s why we tailor our approach to meet your needs. 


Our Governance Review Service is designed to be flexible. We offer a range of approaches, from light-touch diagnostics to more in depth reviews and redesign work. Each engagement is shaped through early conversations with you; focusing on your context, your challenges and your goals. 


We structure our work in tiered packages to suit different levels of complexity, pace, and budget. We’re always happy to flex or adapt based on what you need. Our aim is to add value quickly, build trust, and leave you with governance structures that really work. 

What You’ll Gain

  • Executive governance that supports strategic delivery, not just compliance.

  • Greater grip and visibility for the Vice-Chancellor and senior team.

  • Clearer roles and accountabilities across senior leadership. 

  • Better use of leadership time and sharper decision making.

  • Alignment with board-level assurance and regulatory expectations. 

Let’s talk about how The Hiveworks can help you create governance that drives progress.
