Our Organisation
“Better Boards, Better Organisations, Better World”
The digital time period we live in and the increased inter-connectivity of the world forces organisations to reflect on and redefine their purpose, taking People and Planet into account. If an organisation wants to be sustainable, then it can not solely focus on Profit, but also needs to focus on the ecosystem in which it functions, including human and ecological capital.
Our mission
GUBERNA stimulates good governance in all organisations. We do this by promoting clear roles, qualitative decision-making, ethics and integrity. Governance, in our view, includes natural leadership and entrepreneurship, finding the right balance between daring and doing. Sustainable value creation is the ultimate goal.
Our vision
GUBERNA wants to have a positive impact and has the ambition to become the standard in terms of good governance in every type of organisation. We want to be a preferred partner for all governance actors, to be a knowledge center, provide education, support the implementation, and contribute to knowledge sharing and best practices in our network:
network inspires content, content inspires network.
GUBERNA wants to be the undisputed opinion leader.
The logosymbol of GUBERNA reflects the balance between stimulating and supporting entrepreneurship (the motor) and providing the necessary controls (breaks), and additionally reflects the interaction between content and network. Our academic knowledge not only inspires our network, our network contributes important topics as well.
Our core values
In 2023, our team came together during a two-day Value Workshop to define four core values that reflect who we are and how we work:
- Sustainability : We radiate sustainability in all our words and deeds.
- Integrity : We value mutual trust and reliability & We strive for transparency, impartiality and inclusion
- Leadership: We empower people to build strong organizations
- Caring: We care about and for each other and we treat each other with respect and kindness.
