Our mission is to enhance the capability of organizations that contribute positively to society in Canada and beyond. WATSON's clients include private and public companies, professional services firms, family-owned businesses, public sector entities of various models, regulatory bodies, major trade and professional associations, credit unions, co-operatives, and not-for-profit organizations. WATSON is known for its leading-edge approach to governance and for providing clear, practical, and tailored advice. Our professionals are called upon regularly as trusted advisors to discuss foundational and emerging governance practices and to help clients navigate difficult issues. From our in-depth experience working with boards, we have developed strong knowledge of what good governance looks like and how to best help organizations benefit from strong governance.
