Governance analytics

Read how the boards did this year

1. Read the dates under the title: the page covers the last year, up to today.
2. Read the four tiles: Meetings held, Quorate, Minutes overdue and Work overdue.
3. Read How often the boards met and Decisions recorded: one column a month for the last twelve months.
4. Read How late the late work is, in bands from 1–30 days late to over 180.
5. Read Where the plans are: how many plans are draft, with the board, approved, running, finished or archived.

Then: Every figure is about a body, never a person: nobody's attendance is counted or ranked here. Who attended which meeting is on that body's own page.

In January Mary Ann opens Governance analytics: 38 meetings held, 31 of them quorate, 4 minutes overdue and 11 pieces of work overdue. How late the late work is puts 6 of them in the over 180 band, so Mary Ann asks each chair whether that work is still wanted.

Find the board that needs attention

1. Look under Every body, worst first.
2. Read each body's row: its meetings, the share that were quorate, its minutes overdue and its work overdue.
3. Press a body's name to open its page, where its meetings, minutes and officers are.

Then: The body with the most minutes overdue comes first, then the most work overdue, then the lowest quorate rate. A body that has not met reads has not sat rather than 0%, and comes below the bodies that did.

Rather not? Press Boards & committees above the title to go back to Governance.

The Riverside board shows 4 meetings, 2 quorate and 3 minutes overdue, so it is at the top. Grace presses its name, finds the March minutes were never approved, and asks its secretary to put them to the next meeting.

If a figure looks wrong

1. If a meeting counts as not quorate, check its roll: a meeting where nobody was marked present counts as not quorate.
2. If minutes count as overdue, check whether they were approved: minutes count as overdue from two weeks after the meeting until they are.
3. If a meeting you know happened is not counted, check it was opened: only meetings opened or finished count as held.
4. Press the body's name to put it right on its own page.

Then: The page reads the boards as they are now, so a figure put right on the body's page is right here the next time you open it.

If a board you sit on is not listed

1. If the page shows only a sentence saying governance is kept for the boards' members and the organization's administrators, your role reads no board's papers.
2. If one board is missing, it sits at a unit where your role does not read board papers.
3. Ask an administrator to check your role at that unit.

Then: Once your role reads board papers at that unit, its bodies are counted here and listed with the rest.
