Partners in the Governance Pathway
The Governance Pathway
The Governance Pathway specifies concrete steps an organization can take towards institutionalizing the PGS. It is an attempt at systematizing the process leading to a breakthrough performance. It is divided into four phases, where milestones are marked out within the pathway. Partners that move up are recognized in the ISA’s Semi-Annual Public Governance Forum. Prior to this, ISA facilitates an audit on the PGS Partner’s acquisition of requirements for the stage. Below is a list of Partners in the pathway, with a short description of what the stage entails, as well as information on the stage they are in.
Partners in the Pathway
