Post 4: Governance and Assurance in Transformation - Why It’s More Than Just Red Tape 🛡️ Governance frameworks are often seen as bureaucratic, but in complex transformations, they’re essential for ensuring accountability, consistency, and success. In both sectors, we’ve seen the benefits of governance structures—whether it’s managing a £6bn budget in the NHS or delivering large-scale projects in the private sector. But how do you strike the balance between necessary oversight and agile, responsive action? 🔍 What are your thoughts? How does your organisation approach governance in transformation without slowing progress? Let’s discuss. #Governance #Assurance #ChangeAndTransformation #Leadership #AgilityInBusiness

As consultants and trusted advisors, the ability to navigate between governance and operations is essential – especially when resources are stretched and the lines between the two often blur.⁠ ⁠ On an advisory board, our role is to focus on governance: providing strategic oversight, managing risk, and ensuring the organisation stays aligned with its long-term goals. The emphasis is on the big picture – guiding the board and ensuring accountability.⁠ ⁠ However, when supporting a CEO through a strategic transformation, the role becomes more hands-on. We work closely with the leadership team, helping to translate high-level strategies into actionable plans, often stepping into operational decision-making to drive change. In these moments, we bridge the gap between governance and execution, ensuring the strategic vision becomes a reality on the ground.⁠ ⁠ This dual capability is crucial because, for many clients, a structured approach isn’t always feasible. Their teams may lack the resources to clearly separate governance from operations, meaning both areas need tailored support. Being able to wear both hats, but ensuring we remain within the remit of each role when undertaking it, allows us to help guide the board, while also supporting the CEO in critical transformational shifts, ensuring both strategy and execution work in harmony.⁠ ⁠ Talk to Murali Sinniah or Tapan Dave to find out more on how Holman Hodge Consulting can help your business.⁠ ⁠ #Consulting #Governance #Operations #AdvisoryBoard #CEO #Strategy #Leadership #BusinessTransformation⁠
