Building An Efficient Governance Structure At A Diversified Business Operation

Designing the Governance framework in a diversified business operation, as part of a significant reorganization, must balance a variety of factors depending on the nature of the company, risks, the need for control and agility. The GRC complexity is high as a thorough approval framework covers all the commercial activities and considers the decision processes structure and stakeholders. One of the main points is defining the power balance between the board of directors and the managing directors of the legal entities, However the efficiency of the governance depends strongly on how the actions cascade within the organization.

In reality, one-size-fits-all is often not the best solution because the GRC objectivity may get lost in the design process. Company politics, personal ambitions, complexity, tradition & cultures, as well as existing power bases are active players in the design process, and must be managed continuously in a dynamic governance framework.
