Intranet Hot Seat LIVE: Governance – what actually works
Tuesday 14 April, 3:00 pm – 3:45 pm (BST), Online
Governance is one of the most misunderstood parts of managing a digital workplace. Too much of it, and everything slows down.
Too little, and things quickly become chaotic. It’s not exciting, but governance is vital.
In this live, no-slides session, Sam Marshall, ClearBox Managing Director, steps into the hot seat to tackle the reality of governance – from bloated policies to inconsistent tools and frustrated users.
Challenged by Suzie Robinson, this is a candid conversation about what governance really is, what most organisations get wrong, and how to make it work in practice.
Expect clear thinking, practical examples, and a few uncomfortable truths.
