Govn365 Story

When Mike O’Brien saw the impact and benefits of the Safe365 technology transforming the health and safety sector, he immediately recognised the same could be achieved across governance. Together with Nathan Hight and Mark Kidd, they founded Govn365 which leverages the innovative Safe365 platform to provide a tech solution for governance groups.

We spoke to a wide range of organisations and discovered governance groups lack an effective playbook to improve governance. Govn365 was designed in response to their needs. Governance groups that have embraced the Govn365 approach are already seeing the benefits of a transparent approach that brings structure to what they already know.

Govn365 is a tool that has further been enhanced to meet the ISO 37000 global governance standard. It provides a robust roadmap to improve the performance of governance groups across all industry sectors. We enable directors, CE’s and boards to do better, so their organisations do better too.

Together, we demonstrate that good governance improves performance.
