Understanding and linking with the moral ownership of your organization

The policy governance fieldbook , from which this article was adapted, explores the real‐life experiences of eleven organizations that are applying the Policy Governance model. In choosing which organizations to include, the authors looked for a range of organizations that had made varied degrees of progress in implementing the model. Possessing a wide range of experience with the model, the authors are Caroline Oliver, general editor, Mike Conduff, Susan Edsall, Carol Gabanna, Randee Loucks, Denise Paszkiewicz, Catherine Raso and Linda Stier. This article is adapted from a chapter on one of the most challenging and potentially fulfilling aspects of using Policy Governance: Identifying and linking with owners.
