Why Policy Talk?
Actually, it is my colleagues (especially Joey Bonifacio from Manila) that really pushed me to start this blog. I must admit though, that I really am passionate about Policy Governance. Policy Governance is an invention by John Carver, hence some call Policy Governance simply the Carver Model. Our organization found out about the model a couple of years ago and have implemented it for our world-wide movement-- and I am so glad we did! I believe we have some of the best leaders you will find anywhere, but finding a system and process for them to govern a complex organization like ours has been challenging. Now we have a track to run on. Policy Governance gave us that track and now we are running like never before. This blog will talk about the model and allow others trying to understand it to comment and ask questions.

There can never be enough talk about Policy Governance(r). Hope to drop back to read what you have to say. Have you been to the PG Academy(tm)? How did your initially engage with PG and find that it worked for you?
Hi Sir, i don't think you'll know me but i chanced upon your blog through Ps JOey's site. I just found the comments very interesting. Interesting only because the Singapore government has had a debate about the salaries of the ministers, the public complaining about ministers are paid too much and should be reduced, to which, one of our minister mentor replied something to the effect of: "what they need is a dose of incompetent ministers".. its "saving $20million but jeopardising a $210billion economy" (see http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/268475/1/.html)
Anyway, it'd be awesome to be able to gain a biblical perspective on this for those serving in non-profit orgs, whether in Church or in govt.
Thank u for blogging!
Hey Glen, I would love to contact you but can't through your site. How do I get a hold of you?
