Repair the structure: procedures & controls Clear, recorded, and enforced processes are no longer a "great to have": they are vital for stability.

Embed governance and accountability Strong policies, clear ownership, and ethical practices are what protect organizations in unsure times. Think beyond financing, incorporate compliance & risk Siloed functions are a high-end companies can no longer pay for.
