This book is written for business leaders and those that govern organisations. All high performing organisations excel in achieving 7 organisational outcomes: Accountability, Awareness, Adaptability, Agility, Alignment, Action and Achievement. The enterprise governance framework must deliver on these 7 As through penetrating and integrating three organisational governance layers to drive high performance. These include: corporate governance, strategic governance and operational governance. The book unifies traditional corporate governance, leadership, and strategic management processes, whilst seeking to understand what actually happens on the ground to keep the organisation working and delivering ongoing value to its stakeholders. It synthesises these separate streams into a unified enterprise governance framework, posing some challenging questions whilst providing clear insight into how you implement enterprise governance: something that helps deliver on the 7 As and ultimately high performance.

Bharat Vagadia proposes a broader and more challenging modelof governance for the modern firm. His work will stimulate new thinking and question many established ways of working. And rightly so."

"I believe the theme of ethical leadership is more relevant now than ever and as such this book has a place within that body of literature. It presents both challenges to the reader and some practical guidance. Moreover good use is made of interviews the author has conducted with top level leaders from the business world and public service sector."

The author has derived rich data through interviews with business leaders from a diverse range of organisations to explain their understanding of good governance. The book thus amalgamates these three separate areas into an integrated enterprise governance framework, posing some challenging questions while providing clear insight into how organisations should implement enterprise governance and in the process help drive organisational performance and become successful organisations. Overall, this book suggests that all high performing organisations would eventually excel in achieving seven organisational outcomes (7A’s): Accountability, Awareness, Adaptability, Agility, Alignment, Action and Achievement, if the above integrated nterprise governance framework is followed.
The book starts with identifying differences between governance and management,
The book prescribes what it calls a mantra of participative ‘self-governance’, wherein it claims that it is not the leaders and governors that govern the behaviours and performance of the organisation but the organisation needs to take a stakeholder perspective. Here, it defines self-governance as stakeholders being proactively involved in, contributing to and participating in the governance of their organisation. Alongside, the book also prescribes self-discipline by organisational members/stakeholders. The uniqueness of the book is that it again draws on academic and theoretical research, but remains practitioner focused, thus maintaining both rigour and relevance.
In conclusion, this book will be a great asset for various stakeholders, including business leaders, NGOs, not-for-profit entities or any other form of organisations that wishes to prosper over the longer term. It is also useful if one has an interest in any form of governance; strategic management process; organisational structures; leadership; performance management; risk management, compliance assurance; organisational alignment, oversight and insight mechanisms. It is an easy read and includes a take-away at the end of key chapters."

"A year before the global financial crisis of 2008 I was with a group of developing leaders at a major UK bank. An executive leader had been invited to come and share his wisdom. I asked him over dinner why the bank was continuing to lend to customers it knew would not be able to repay. ‘All our competitors are doing so and in any case this is cyclical’ he said. As the financial debacle unfolded and then the crisis of leadership extended to all the key institutions I had previously looked up to, I reflected frequently on the comments from that leader who bore the euphemistic title Head of Risk.
In this book Dr Vagadia draws from a range of sources, theories, real organisations, leaders and not least of all his own commercial and academic experience, to present a compelling case for the concept of ‘enterprise governance’. Whilst this alone may not be sufficient to fix the crisis of leadership facing society today, it does cause the reader to step back and challenge how narrowly governance has been defined in organisations. Appropriately in my view it also challenges the traditional business schools to consider what short shrift they give to such an important concept.
The author has an ability to draw on wide-ranging concepts and relate them to corporate reality. There are few such books which can draw parallels between corporate governance, particle physics and Indian history! However it is clear that Dr Vagadia is more than a thinker and has worked closely with major corporations - this means he is able to propose his conceptualisation of enterprise governance with a credible degree of granularity.
I believe the theme of ethical leadership is more relevant now than ever and as such this book has a place within that body of literature. It presents both challenges to the reader and some practical guidance. Moreover good use is made of interviews the author has conducted with top level leaders from the business world and public service sector.
Having now read Dr Vagadia’s book I wish it had been written a few years ago as it might have had an impact on that Head of Risk which might just have had an impact on organisational behaviour."
