Hi There

Welcome to February and where did January go? We are definitely back into it. There is a LOT of news this week, but a quick read below will get you up to speed and on your way.

THOUGHT OF THE WEEK 

"Good governance” is one of those phrases that gets used a lot, often right before someone proposes a new committee, a new policy, or a new layer of review.

At Mayflower, good governance isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing the right things, clearly and consistently so decision-making is sharper, accountability is real, and the organisation holds its line when the pressure comes on.

If your product governance is feeling a bit on the 'heavy' side, let's chat. Whether it needs a quick trim or a completely new cut*, we can help.

*Did we mention that Sarah has had quite a signficant hair cut? You should ask her about it, she's very happy!
