Guberna aims to boost good governance in all organisations

GUBERNA believes that good governance leads to better organisations and that better organisations contribute to a better world.

What is good governance?

Essentially, governance has to do with management, mastery, accountability, supervision and control. The main goals include making an organisation’s governance structures and decision-making processes more efficient, objective and transparent. Good governance is thus not an end point but rather a means to achieve the organisational strategy.

Reflections on the GUBERNA Director's Day 2019 - Philip Verhaeghe

The 2019 Directors’ Day provided the many GUBERNA-members with a strong and clear wake-up call, combined with a precious call to action. Digital transformation and innovation are everywhere and therefore certainly affect the way companies should be governed. Directors have an urgent duty to become more “tech-savvy”, to be more in touch with what the latest technologies can offer. As digitisation and innovation have an impact on all businesses, they can no longer be a blind spot on the agenda of a board of directors!

Does digital transformation imply a transformation to the board of directors?

Following the recent tsunami of regulations, the board of directors today still has a mainly "controlling" function in many companies. Its mission largely focuses on the protection of (minority) shareholders by limiting investment risks and avoiding conflicts of interest. Consequently, a director's duties are still too often limited to monitoring, compliance and risk management. This sometimes seems to be at odds with the organisational flexibility that innovation necessitates. After all, innovation requires creativity and entrepreneurship in a cooperative, open culture in which risk-taking is seen as indispensable.
