Corporate Governance And Strategy
Corporate governance plays an instrumental role in business strategy by shaping, directing, and controlling operations. It outlines the framework for attaining a company's objectives, involving various stakeholders like shareholders, management, customers, and suppliers. The structure of corporate governance ensures transparency and accountability, enhancing a company's reputation while making it attractive to investors.
When integrated into business strategy, corporate governance can stimulate sustainable growth. It allows for effective risk management by identifying potential pitfalls and proactively mitigating them. Additionally, the ethical parameters set down by corporate governance ensure a company's decisions and strategies align with legal and social expectations. In turn, this can increase stakeholder trust and improve the company's overall sustainability and success in the long run.

Our approach builds commitment and ownership, is relevant to the needs of your organisation and is inclusive, giving a voice to all Board members and key stakeholders.
We wanted a clear, tried and tested process that would identify recommendations that would help us improve as a Board. Mightywaters delivered on all fronts. They brought a clear approach which they delivered to plan. They worked collaboratively with the CEO and I throughout. They delivered an excellent report which has helped the Board develop a clear action plan to improve. Mightywaters grasped quickly the context we face and our strategic goals and were able to frame their recommendations accordingly. This has been a great piece of work and I highly recommend Mightywaters

Mightywaters’ structured approach to Board effectiveness evaluation enabled Board members (who are from a joint venture of four mobile operators) to think deeply about their contribution and to reflect on what works well and where we need to refocus. The recommendations really added value and we are in the process of implementing them. I am very pleased with the outcomes of this work, it has exceeded my expectations
