ISO 37004 provides the governance maturity model framework developed by ISO TC309, published in November 2023 as a companion to ISO 37000. Where ISO 37000 establishes the principles of good governance, ISO 37004 provides the structured methodology to evaluate how mature an organisation's governance actually is — enabling governing bodies, governance professionals, and senior executives to assess current governance practice against defined maturity levels and identify a credible, prioritised improvement pathway.
This course covers the structure and purpose of ISO 37004, its relationship to ISO 37000, and how the maturity model is applied in practice. Content covers the maturity model framework — maturity levels, governance dimensions, and the assessment criteria applied to each; how to design and conduct a governance maturity assessment, including evidence gathering, stakeholder interviews, and scoring methodology; interpreting assessment results and using them to build a governance improvement roadmap; common governance maturity gaps and the organisational dynamics that create them; how ISO 37004 intersects with board effectiveness reviews, sustainability governance assessments, and ESG disclosure obligations; and connecting governance maturity to investor expectations, regulatory requirements, and certification body assessments.
Participants work through a governance maturity assessment exercise using realistic organisational scenarios. Suitable for board members, company secretaries, governance professionals, senior executives responsible for governance design, and those conducting board effectiveness reviews or governance advisory work.
