In today’s episode, Dr. Huub joins me to share his predictions on how governance will affect the market. We discuss why you should shift from being engineer-driven to becoming market-driven and how your company’s governance impacts every aspect of your business. We discuss the importance of creating a governance system and why it’s critical for your governance policies to fit your company’s culture. We discuss the impact of the CEO signing the policies and why it’s crucial for employees to commit to the policies with their CEO. We also discuss how Huub is helping companies create a governance system for their organizations while allowing room for flexibility and agility.
