Fix the foundation: processes & controls Clear, documented, and imposed processes are no longer a "nice to have": they are important for stability.
Embed governance and accountability Strong policies, clear ownership, and ethical practices are what secure organizations in unsure times. Believe beyond financing, incorporate compliance & danger Siloed functions are a luxury companies can no longer afford.
