Dive into governance with an online panel discussion on transforming your organization’s governance system. The panel will explore the difference between the actual rules verses the behaviours that have moved from “best” practice at the time to “permanent” practice. This discussion will highlight the challenges and opportunities in aligning organizational behavior with governance policies, ensuring that best practices remain relevant and effective over time.

About the Panel
