Food For Thought

Old-fashioned governance systems need to transform themselves from a static fiduciary-based model to a strong, team-based ‘generative’ model.

What is a ‘generative’ model?  From the point of view of enhancing financial vibrancy, a generative model of governance/leadership is one that produces consistent excellence in operations and also a steady stream of new ideas for products/services.  This includes a dedicated research and development function in all roles on the Board as well as among Managers and Staff.
