Digging Deeper into Data
This webinar focused on how high-quality governance depends on a clearly defined purpose and aligned values. Emphasising that good governance stems from everyday decisions by individuals across an organisation, not just at board level.
We draw a vivid analogy of governance as a murmuration of starlings - decentralised yet harmonised decision-making governed by shared purpose and mutual trust. Perrin emphasises that governance isn’t confined to boardroom policies or compliance mechanisms, but lives in the millions of everyday choices made by people throughout an organisation.
Perrin highlights that compassion, in decision-making and interpersonal interactions, emerged from his research as the strongest predictor of governance quality
.His core message: rehumanising governance by embedding purpose, values, and empathy into daily practice to foster adaptability, cohesion, and meaningful organisational culture.
