A steering committee is an advisory board made of leadership individuals and external stakeholders. These boards govern organizations or projects, and the nature of the initiative determines who's on the committee.
Authority: The steering committee is advisory in nature, while the board has final decision-making power. Scope: An executive steering committee may still focus on specific projects or campaigns, while an executive board deals with the entire company's direction.
While the board sets the direction and strategy, management is responsible for executing the plan. Therefore, the organisation's success depends on effective collaboration between both groups. However, conflicts can arise when the boundaries between their roles are not clearly defined and communicated.
The audit, compensation and nomination, and governance committees are examples of standing committees most — if not all — corporations have. Their presence allows the board to oversee important functions more effectively over time so the full board can focus on broader strategic issues.
A steering committee is a group of main stakeholders that decides on an organization's priorities or order of business, and manages its operations general counsel. The goal of a steering committee is to oversee and support a project from the management level.
What is a Steering Committee? Steering committees are comprised of various people, including board officers, senior stakeholders, experts, executives, department employees and client representatives. Members of steering committees meet and collaborate to define, prioritize and control projects.
Committees are often comprised of a small subsection of the board of directors. Committees have a more specific mission than the board as a whole, and may be called to deliberate on matters sent to them from the board of directors.
Differing responsibility between board roles and committee roles. Decision-Making Authority: Boards have ultimate decision-making authority, while committees advise and make recommendations. The board holds the power to approve or reject proposals or recommendations of the committees.
