Management and governance systems

Business design and documentation services for corporations, government agencies, and not-for-profit entities

Kesteven and Associates designs and documents management and governance systems. We use Kesteven Management Documentation*, a method for describing the structure and operation of an organisation so that —

The components of the organisation, and the relations between them, are well defined.
Managers and employees understand their responsibilities and how their activities contribute to the organisation's objectives.
The organisation can demonstrate that it is operating as its managers intend, in compliance with stakeholder expectations and with statutory and commercial assurance obligations.

Kesteven Management Documentation includes well developed approaches to documenting an organisation's policies, roles and responsibilities, assurance and compliance framework, risk management system, process hierarchy, and business objects.

We develop documentation to meet these requirements —

Simplicity: no matter how complex the organisation, its documentation must be simple and short. If you can't explain it, your people can't do it.
Rigour: organisational descriptions are built from logical principles and precise definitions, to withstand external scrutiny and to meet audit, assurance, and due diligence requirements.
Ease of use: to add value, documentation must be easy to follow, quick to update and develop, and easy to audit.

We create —

Documentation that people will use
Practical solutions to the day-to-day problems of senior management
