Future-Proofing Governance: How Boards Prepare for Change Before Crisis
Future-proofing governance is no longer about predicting the future—it is about being ready for it.
For years, governance focused on a single question: Did we follow the rules?

Why Corporate Governance Matters — The BoardCast Perspective
Corporate governance is not a policy—it is a mirror of leadership. It reveals how power is used, how silence is allowed, and how consequences are created.
