The Board that is working hard to use Policy Governance faces a special challenge when searching for tools to help it do its work. It needs to make sure that the tools it chooses and the tools it develops on its own are truly a help and not a hindrance in getting the full benefits of Policy Governance. Caroline Oliver, a governance consultant based in Canada and editor of The Policy Governance Fieldbook Practical Lessons, Tips, and Tools from the Experiences of Real‐World Boards (San Francisco: Jossey‐Bass, 1999), sheds some light on what kind of tools are helpful and how to choose wisely.
