Hierarchies and Networks
Hierarchies are NOT designed to pivot,
innovate, react or change fast
Embraces conformity (status quo)
They run the business
Networks do NOT replace hierarchies, yet
they excel at tackling uncertainty and change
Embraces constructive nonconformity
They change the business
Our governance committees are intentional networks

Leadership Engagement via
Governance Committees
“If your leaders are responsible for certain
aspects of the business where their performance
is monitored by the results of a project, you can
bet your bottom dollar that they’ll be more
engaged in making it work.”
Nick Thompson, a leadership coach for Australian Help
