Governance

Governance is a tool an organization uses to decide where power should reside and who gets to click on what button. This process places rails around operations, which helps an organization get from point A to point B more smoothly.

• There is an idea that governance — public or corporate — is driven by the self-interested effort of leaders to acquire and keep their power.
• Governance means conflict. It also means resolution. Accept the former, focus on the latter, via transparency.
• There is still much room there is to try different things around Governance.
