Discussion
What kind of organisation are you working for
and what are the key challenges in terms of governance ?
How can your organisation improve its organisation structure
regarding cooperation, coordination, and interdependencies?
How did you improve during the last five years and how will
you improve further?
What has to be done in order to do so?
