Corporate governance isn't a tick-box exercise – it's your strategic edge. Catch the highlights from our London event, 'Navigating a new era of governance in a changing world', where leading voices explored how effective governance builds resilience, drives innovation and creates genuine competitive advantage. From AI as opportunity catalyst to the power of intentional leadership, our panel tackled the questions that matter. The insights were sharp, the debate was robust and the message was clear: in a world defined by change, governance is what separates resilience from resistance. At IQ-EQ, we partner with corporates, fund managers and asset owners to transform governance into strategic value. We help boards navigate complexity, maintain transparency and turn operational excellence into lasting advantage. We'll be publishing a detailed write-up of the panel discussion soon – so stay tuned for deeper insights.
