Governance for Decision Making: The Backbone of Long-Term Value
Strong governance is more than a compliance exercise—it’s the foundation for ethical decision-making, risk management, and lasting impact. In this episode, we unpack what separates good governance from bad, why poor decision-making leads to self-imposed barriers, and how strong governance can unlock opportunities. We discuss high-profile governance failures, the importance of informed, inclusive frameworks, and why First Nations governance must be more than an afterthought. The First Nations Strategic Alignment Framework (FNSAF) offers a pathway for businesses to elevate their governance standards beyond the performative and drive real, industry-led change.
🎧 What you’ll learn:
✅ Why effective governance drives transparency, accountability, and long-term success
✅ The consequences of weak governance, with real-world examples from Theranos to WeWork
✅ How embedding strong governance mechanisms can mitigate risks and build trust with stakeholders
