Minute Taking Governance
- Are your Board and committee meetings running as effectively as they should?
- Do your minutes provide more than just a record and guide decision-making and compliance?
- Are lines of accountability clear, or do they sometimes blur?
- Is your governance framework powerful enough to keep every discussion purposeful?
- Are your meetings driving action, or wasting valuable time?
We’re here to support your growth, strengthen compliance, and enable confident decision-making.
governance frameworks unlocked
The Waymaker Way
Our governance strategy service goes beyond documentation. We focus on the structures, processes and practices that enable your Board or committee to operate with clarity and accountability. At Waymaker, we work closely with you to design and refine your governance framework by ensuring your compliance obligations are met and meetings stay purposeful and efficient. Many clients combine this service with our independent minute-taking support, others choose to engage us solely for governance strategy. Our role is to help you strengthen decision-making and reduce wasted Board time.
How We Work
DISCOVERY
We begin by taking a step back to understand the bigger picture of your organisation, including the Board and committee structures and the way governance currently works in practice. This allows us to identify strengths and gaps before implementing a tailored approach that fits with your compliance obligations, organisation culture and meeting rhythm.
FRAMEWORKS
Our experience across multiple sectors gives us in-depth knowledge of recognised best practices and governance codes. What sets us apart from the role of a chair is our structured process, built on proven governance frameworks and clear methodologies. This provides a wider approach to governance and allows the chair to focus on leading and running the meetings effectively.
INTEGRATION
With discovery and framework processes complete, we will focus on embedding governance into the flow of your meetings. This includes risk register updates, action tracking and tailored templates to improve performance. Once practices take hold, you’ll notice clearer accountability and more informed decision-making.
SUPPORT
Many clients combine our governance strategy with independent minute-taking, creating a complementary service that ensures decisions and accountability are captured accurately. At Waymaker, our external perspective brings neutrality and allows the chair to focus on running meetings with purpose.
REVIEW AND REFINE
Our frameworks are designed to scale as your organisation evolves. Governance is never static, that is why we build in checkpoints to review outcomes and adapt frameworks, where needed. By providing clear recommendations, we help your Board operate efficiently and with confidence. We help every meeting deliver real value.
foundations that last
