CGOV.5:1 - Problem frame

Use this pattern when a board cannot obtain a needed oversight contribution, when a committee lacks the remit or support to provide it, or when new committees are being proposed without a clear receiving use.

Begin with the question the board or another responsible organ needs answered. Determine whether an existing arrangement can answer it and whether a committee is required by the applicable rules. The useful result is an oversight design: its remit, participants, powers, information access, resources and return to the responsible organ, together with any conditions for putting it into effect.
