The Oasis Approach to Strengthening Governance Performance
Oasis Consulting Associates is well-positioned to guide boards, committees, and leadership teams to develop the habits, structures, and decision-making culture required for higher performance. We apply our proprietary methodology to help you identify what is holding you back and turn our findings into a practical, results-focused path forward uniquely tailored to your needs. Our process delivers measurable, breakthrough results in any organizational space, from local non-profits to multinational corporations.
What You Can Expect
We begin with a rigorous analysis of the underlying issues in close and efficient collaboration with you. Our corporate governance expert has decades of experience assisting strategic decision makers. Throughout his CIA career, including eight years as its Chief of Corporate Governance, Keith Mosser has led enterprise governance initiatives, facilitated executive decision-making, guided organizational integration, and advised leadership during periods of significant change. He will partner with you to identify the specific shortcomings undermining your performance and Oasis practitioners will lead you through a curated set of proven techniques to help you craft a detailed course of action
When a group isn’t functioning as well as it should, there are two things you can change: people or processes. Our approach leans heavily into diagnosing and healing the process deficiencies so that your people can perform as they should and your leaders can make decisions at the speed of your mission.
Our highly participatory, practical techniques demonstrate how board members, committee members, and leadership teams can better work together to advance your organization’s top goals. Clients see positive results from the first moments of our sessions as we lead participants through an intentional series of consensus-based techniques that model how to respond to complex challenges with agility and collegiality.
Groups leave our sessions with a shared understanding of how to build cultures of consensus. That shift is central to our work: most governance consulting focuses on compliance, while Oasis focuses on maximizing performance. Effective governance is not simply about following rules; it is about enabling organizations to make better decisions, clarify authority, align objectives, and fulfill their missions with greater confidence.
Our commitment is to leave you with a clear path forward that you are able to independently and effectively implement. We also offer additional support as needed, to include governance coaching, policy review, and strategic planning.
