Governance Review
A framework for change - Governance structures and ways of working for the IET.
Over the past 12 months, the Board of Trustees has reviewed all aspects of the IET’s governance arrangements. It has decided to simplify the structure of the main boards, improve the ways of working of these boards, and to emphasise the importance of delivery of the IET’s products and services globally by distinguishing between the strategy, policy and delivery functions. The changes are also intended to reinforce the benefits of joint staff-member working to make best use of the resources available to meet the IET’s objectives.
The Board is convinced that success is brought about by boards and committees operating as integrated member-staff teams, ensuring coherence and consistency of functions, transparency of decisions, effectiveness of activities, and accountability for outcomes.
A Governance Implementation Project Board (GIPB), comprising members and staff, has been set up to manage the transition. To ensure that volunteers and staff are kept informed of progress, the GIPB has created a Governance Implementation Stakeholder Group** (GISG) to whom we will send regular updates. Information will also be published on the IET website, through the links on this page, and in Member News.
The GIPB would welcome your advice and suggestions through the email address govimp@theiet.org.
