The service is known as the Governance Evaluator and organisations across sectors and disciplines are innovating the way that they function, predict risks, identify gaps, create reports and generate insights through this technology. Maryanne has a long history in online education dating back to the early 1980s and when she joined the Board of Timboon and District Healthcare Services some four years ago, it was a baptism of fire. She had never been on a Board before and five months into her role, was elected as Chair. The government had recently introduced the new term rule of nine years, which also meant the Board lost six of its existing members and therefore, a lot of history. Maryanne found herself chairing a brand new team who were just as \u2018green\u2019 as her. Maryanne discovered that the organisation had an existing license with Governance Evaluator, yet the service hadn\u2019t been properly utilised or leveraged. It was music to her ears. She dived into the technology and found access to a world of information and knowledge that would not only improve her personal ability to Chair, but to service the multi-purpose organisation and its increasingly growing community. Each Board member completed an online questionnaire to help identify their insights into the organisation and then worked with a convenor to understand their strengths and areas for growth. A dynamic report was then produced that detailed the organisation\u2019s risks, skills, strategies and gaps, and particularly highlighted how to improve its clinical governance. Four years on and Maryanne can only speak highly of the platform that is intuitive, easy to use, enables simple reporting and is invested in supporting the organisation in the long-term with ongoing data and acumens \u2014 not just the current Board members.
