JURRIAN'S STORY

 

Jurrian is a leader in the international education and non-profit sectors with proven expertise in both strategic planning and operational execution. He is an intuitive coach who excels in identifying, developing and utilizing talent. He manages the tension between the value of relationships and the need for results.

In 2010 he became a certified Policy Governance trainer, after receiving training from John and Miriam Carver, the developers of the Policy Governance model.  During that time, he lived and worked in South-East Asia where he provided training for several NGO’s and International school boards.

Jurrian has served on the board of directors of the International Policy Governance Association, as well as several other boards. He served as a Chairperson and has experience as a CEO; allowing him to understand the unique challenges that come with the different roles in an organization. The extensive cross-cultural experience has balanced out his European directness and task orientated mindset with an appreciation for community and genuine relationships.

Jurrian epitomized what Jim Collins describes as level 5 leadership characterized by persistent focus and humility.

ABOUT POLICY GOVERNANCE

 

The Policy Governance® model is the only existing comprehensive governance model that covers all aspects of board governance. This operating system for boards has been developed by Dr. John and Miriam Carver and the model is therefore often referred to as “Carver governance” or the “Carver model.”

Policy Governance is designed to enable strategic leadership and ensure accountability on all levels of the organization.  

The model is built on a set of internally consistent principles, all of which are necessary for the model to work as it is designed as a system.

Some of the key benefits:

  • The board will be more clearly positioned to provide strategic leadership. 
  • Clarity in roles and responsibilities for both the board and management improves efficiency and working relations.
  • By clearly defining expected organizational results and setting parameters within which management has freedom, the board empowers the CEO while holding him/ her rigorously accountable.
  • Policy Governance helps your board be accountable to its shareholders or “moral owners” (in not-for-profit organizations).
