NEW: Governance Lifecycle Model (GLM)™ Assessment Tool (see details below)
Is your "governance style" helping or hindering your company's strategic performance?

Trust Enabled™ governance of an organization enhances its perceived value to sources of funding.

At Issue (Top)
Organizations, whether public, private, for profit or not-for-profit depend on investors or donors for funding, who must attain sufficient confidence in the requesting organization's value proposition prior to entrusting them with their money.

Inappropriate use of such funds has adversely affected the capacity of many organizations to continue to contribute to the economy and society. In some cases, their demise has caused considerable loss, pain and suffering to many stakeholders. Increased regulations (such as Sarbanes-Oxley legislation in the United States) have been a typical societal response, but have too often fallen short of their promise to rebuild sufficient confidence in organizational governance. Other, industry-initiated approaches to building trust have generally been reactive, tactical responses, aimed at suppressing highly visible scandals. However, despite numerous attempts, a comprehensive and unified approach to building and maintaining stakeholder trust continues to be elusive.

Solution (Top)
Trust Enablement™ explicitly and strategically addresses stakeholders' trust requirements and reduces reliance on regulations and other tactical responses to a broader confidence problem by providing comprehensive and balanced communications systems that build and maintain trust between those who provide money and those who use it. Trust Enablement™ also reduces reliance on personal and subjective sources of trust with systems that allow reliance decisions to be based on more objective, systematized criteria.

Benefits (Top)
Trust Enablement™ performance is measured by the ability of an organization to efficiently secure required financial resources. Trust Enabled™ organizations have a broader base of financial support, raise funds faster, and raise larger amounts per transaction.
