Fix the structure: procedures & controls Clear, documented, and implemented processes are no longer a "good to have": they are critical for stability.
Embed governance and accountability Strong policies, clear ownership, and ethical practices are what safeguard services in unsure times. Believe beyond financing, incorporate compliance & threat Siloed functions are a luxury companies can no longer manage.
