Strategy & accountability
Purpose, programme direction, executive oversight and institutional accountability.
Governance & operating structure
Clear accountability before appointments are made.
Goblis Foundation separates governance, executive accountability and operational responsibility. Positions are defined in the operating system before an individual is appointed, so authority, evidence and reporting lines can be controlled from the start.
