Ce petit livre reprend en gros le contenu de la conférence d'ouverture livrée dans le programme de certification universitaire en gouvernance de sociétés du Collège des Administrateurs de l'Université Laval. Gouvernance corporative connote ici la coordination efficace et dynamique de l'organisation quand pouvoir, ressources et information sont vastement distribués entre plusieurs mains - dans le privé, le public, le communautaire, etc. Ce petit livre reprend en gros le contenu de la conférence d'ouverture livrée dans le programme de certification universitaire en gouvernance de sociétés du Collège des Administrateurs de l'Université Laval.

Gouvernance corporative - Une entrée en matières

Les deux volumes de pasquinades ont cherché par leurs égratignures à faire ressortir les travers culturels les plus marquants des deux pans les plus importants de la société canadienne, en ne se concentrant pas sur leurs traits communs (qui sont nombreux) mais en insistant sur certaines sensibilités différentes et les prisons mentales qui s'y aboutent.

Pasquinade en F - Essais à rebrousse-poil

" Les citoyens comme les investisseurs et les parties prenantes ont été immergés pendant si longtemps dans un univers de gouvernement -c'est à dire une situation où au sommet se trouvait un potentat ayant réussi à faire croire qu'il avait toute la connaissance, tout le pouvoir et toute l'information pour assurer la gouverne- qu'ils en sont arrivés à croire qu'ils avaient une " vocation de gouvernés " et à perdre eux-mêmes la notion qu'ils étaient des producteurs de gouvernance eux-mêmes. Cette paresse, cette indolence et ce refus de se prendre en main sont encore omniprésents. Voilà qui explique le blocage mental auquel fait face la notion de gouvernance. Ce blocage n'est pas innocent. Il révèle un état d'esprit, une sorte de servitude volontaire dans laquelle on se complaît. Le caractère subversif de la notion de gouvernance vient du fait qu'elle sonne le réveil, qu'elle est un appel aux armes, si l'on peut dire. Pas moyen de penser gouvernance sans penser au fardeau de la charge, à l'obligation de s'impliquer et de participer, aux devoirs que chacun a d'être un producteur de gouvernance, de contribuer à la gouverne de l'entreprise, de l'organisation, du pays. " Cet ouvrage est donc un appel à l'engagement, à la responsabilité, à la participation au " multilogue " social, requis par une socioéconomie dont la structure hiérarchisée et centralisée s'est effritée au fur et à mesure que le monde s'est ouvert, que l'information s'est diffusée et que les compétences se sont multipliées. Illustrant ces processus par plusieurs exemples empruntés à divers domaines de l'histoire canadienne récente, l'auteur montre à la fois la gouvernance distribuée qui est à l'œuvre dans le monde où nous vivons et les résistances que nos façons de penser traditionnelles lui opposent.

Gouvernance : une invitation à la subversion

A Plea for Bold Organizational Experimentation. The eighth book in the Collaborative Metagovernance series is an irreverent challenge to administrative conservatorship, and a case for bold organizational experimentation. It makes the case for effective new actors, new structural forms and new social technologies, while showing the perils of ill-conceived contraptions like super-bureaucracies, single-purpose agencies and failure to pay due attention to good management. This series of books is designed to define cumulatively the contours of collaborative decentered metagovernance. At this time, there is still no canonical version of this paradigm: it is en émergence. This series intends to be one of many construction sites to experiment with various dimensions of an effective and practical version of this new approach. Metagovernance is the art of combining different forms or styles of governance, experimented with in the private, public and social sectors, to ensure effective coordination when power, resources and information are widely distributed, and the governing is of necessity decentred and collaborative.

Irregular Governance - A Plea for Bold Organizational Experimentation

"La vocation de l'antimanuel est de faire le ménage sur. un terrain jonché de postulats naïfs, de raisonnements courts, de propositions dogmatiques et de recettes simplistes pour le décontaminer. Objectif : débronzer les dogmes, aider à prendre une vue d'ensemble des questions en suspens et faciliter le travail de la pensée critique. En combattant toute orthodoxie, l'antimanuel est donc une forme bien ajustée au contenu de l'approche de la gouvernance - qui est essentiellement subversive. Ce travail de déblayage part d'un besoin d'antidote et s'attaque d'abord au plus toxique : aux virus qui minent les discussions sur la gouvernance collaborative. Quant au travail de construction qui obligatoirement doit suivre, comme il est prématuré de penser à des traités formels dans le monde de la gouvernance collaborative pour le moment, l'antimanuel vise relativement bas : il veut seulement aider le lecteur à identifier les pathologies de gouvernance les plus importantes et à apprécier ce qui peut être fait pour améliorer la situation." (G. R)

Gouvernance colloborative - Un antimanuel

This book revisits the tainted blood tragedy that Canada experienced in the latter part of the 20th century. It presents an argument in brief about the tragedy being the result of a cascade of pathologies of governance. Then it challenges the conventional wisdom and its explanation boiling down to four ill-founded accusations. After proposing a systemic reconstruction of the tragedy, it develops some responses to the systemic governance failures. The conclusion takes stock of the modest progress in the repairs of the toxic system in place, and the postface focuses on the demise of critical thinking as a fundamental source of the crisis and on a need to refurbish critical thinking if advances are to be expected in what remains a work in progress.

The Tainted-Blood Tragedy in Canada - A Cascade of Governance Failures

This book looks into the forces at work that have undermined critical thinking and sound intellectual inquiry in the world of public affairs in Canada, have fostered reductive perspectives and destructive blockages to collaborative governance to emerge, and have succeeded in blinding observers to the real sources of the present Canadian malaise, blocking the road to imaginative repairs.    
Part I deals frontally with the twilight of critical thinking that has led to a dramatic weakening of the critical examination of issues, and the process of inquiry that has been significantly weakened by ever narrower perspectives.
Part II focuses on two mental prisons: the obsessive and reductive insistence on a quantophrenic twist (only that which can be quantified counts); and the failure by crucial partners to live up to the requirements of their burden of office in circumstances when disloyalty considerably enfeebles the possibility of effective collaborative governance and the chance for  organizations to succeed.
Part III suggests that it is not impossible to get rid of the blinders preventing the adoption of more synoptic approaches, and the exploration of more imaginative designs to repair our organizations and institutions. Ways to deal with the challenges facing the Canadian socio-economy are hinted at, and the work of a successful social architect showcased.   
The conclusion makes the case for an approach that is both synoptic and guided by reasonableness - against the dogmas of disciplines and skimpy rationality.This book looks into the forces at work that have undermined critical thinking and sound intellectual inquiry in the world of public affairs in Canada, have fostered reductive perspectives and destructive blockages to collaborative governance to emerge, and have succeeded in blinding observers to the real sources of the present Canadian malaise, blocking the road to imaginative repairs.

Unusual Suspects

Too many stakeholders have neglected their duty of imagining an aspiring federal capital region for Canada. Under the auspices of the Forum of Federations, a number of persons interested in the fate of Canada's federal capital region came together to examine the challenges facing the region and to put forward suggestions to deal with them. In this report on the brainstorming exercise conducted in January 2011, professionals, academics, and elected officials take stock of the vast array of assets on which the federal capital region can build; probe the many sources of failures in coping as effectively and creatively as one would expect with the diversity, trans-border, financial, and governance challenges; and make suggestions to ensure that the federal capital region does not remain "unimagined" in the future.
