Smart organizations control their destinies. With governance issues underlying more and more business disputes and high-profile scandals, organizations today must ensure a robust governance structure that facilitates success while guarding against legal and ethical pitfalls.Â
Not only does the effectiveness of an organization’s governance play a key role in operational success, but it is increasingly central in disputes and litigation.
