To navigate this terrain successfully, it is imperative for businesses to not only ensure governance, manage performance, mitigate risks, and uphold compliance, but to also transform into a “connected enterprise.” A “connected enterprise” is a holistic approach to efficient and effective business management, one where governance, performance, risk management, and compliance are seamlessly integrated, enabling strategic alignment, digital transformation, and data-driven decision-making. In a connected enterprise, every aspect of the business, from strategy to execution, is connected and aligned, fostering agility, adaptability, and business resilience.
