Bluegrass IIBA Chapter Meeting
You cringe when you hear the word governance. Here it comes: rules, standards, regulations, delay, fights with colleagues and, worst of all, bureaucracy. Governance discussions are some of the most challenging that company managers will have.
In this session discover how governance does not have to be a four-letter word. Good governance is not bureaucratic or burdensome. Combine with typical lean techniques, and you can bring all of the benefits of governance with none of the pain by adopting lean governance!
Responsive, unobtrusive, business-enabling governance is not only possible, but is the outcome of properly applying respect for people, respect for systems, and good critical thinking –behaviors we all have if we expose them. You can make governance work in your organization.
We’ll learn how:
- Governance can be ‘light touch’ and effective.
- Culture is critical to governance.
- Governance liberates all from the tedious and enables innovation in harmony.
