Guberna

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.

En toch, wanneer het aankomt op de toekomst (over de generaties heen) van het eigen bedrijf, vergeet men nogal snel dat ook het eigen leven niet eeuwig durend is. Men meent dat er voor het nadenken over de opvolging en/of overname van de onderneming nog ruimschoots tijd is.
