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.

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.
