Thinking about fairness evaluations in the realm of the #RuleofLaw -- not silver bullets nor cause for churn but #riskmanagement from 800 years work reconciling outcomes from #instinctive conduct in marketplace #MachiavelliHadItEasy

[David Fushtey @governanceguy]

#GovernanceGaps : understand governance as a separate discipline of skills and knowledge; clarify values for decision efficiency, consistency and accountability and; engage detailed risk management of information flows. #MachiavelliHadItEasy @NACDL

#ConflictingInterests in a digital age -- high-water marks in Quebec flood plain and in public opinion by local regulator that a planned #executivecompensation plan was likely compliant but "incurred a negative [market] perception" under circumstances proposed @financialpost

Everything matters in a digital age -- Zuckerberg's lessons-learned include that moving quickly and breaking things may work in start-up management, not so much in governance strategic oversight #MoveSlowlyandOwnMistakes Economist06Apr19

Lessons relearned by each new cohort in boardrooms -- Economist (06Apr19) #governancetrainwrecks ; risks remain and governance patterns repeat until intuitive responses are disciplined with #strategicoversight

Beyond trust: "The most universal press bias is to exaggerate the importance of claims [highlighted or reported]..." #WSJ (13Apr19) #MachiavelliHadItEasy

[David Fushtey @governanceguy]

Words observed in the news on the weekend -- that meanings and risk profiles change. Thinking about words and things (Brown, 1964) is easier than thinking about words and ideas, like governance. #MachiavelliHadItEasy.

[David Fushtey @governanceguy]

Words matter, though #MachiavelliHaditEasy we have to work at it. Check here on Weds for our Keywords in law and governance, and see the NACDs leadership in all things governance with a new @nacdonline #FutureFluency.

#GlobalMarketplace in boardrooms - diverse cultures, education, experience, vocations. #RuleOfLaw is accountable to Anglo-American #values & principles, but others rule by law to their values. #GovernanceMatters. @MachiavelliHadItEasy, @InfoAgePub.

Dual-class shares in the news and on the ABA Business Law radar -- consider #ConflictingInterests reconciled through clear #disclosure and #BestInterest conditions on founders @ABABusLaw @InfoAgePub Machiavelli Had it Easy.

[David Fushtey @governanceguy]

Celebrating May Brown -- here's to principled pragmatism rendered in a life well lived. A century of organized, inclusive, inquiring, informed, respectful, stylish, kindness.
A force and legacy of friendships and decisions well made.

Evaluating in #StrategicOversight when everything matters, look to law and equity #BestInterests test – an #elegant solution. #wordsmatter; @InfoAgePub @ABABusLaw @SFUDialogue

[David Fushtey @governanceguy]

Think about SNC Lavalin, Attorney General and Minister of Justice as different interests, if not quite right and right and right, but no governance framework to respect different roles and reconciling conflicts #MachiavelliHadItEasy
