What is Governance?
Governance is the way the rules, norms and actions are structured, sustained, regulated and held accountable. The degree of formality depends on the internal rules of a given organisation and, externally, with its business partners. The fundamental advocacy that is necessary for a system or subsystem to continue to develop properly. Especially in such a way that it doesn't frustrate any relevant interests or cause damage anywhere outside the system. As such, governance may take many forms, driven by many different motivations and with many different results.

Relations of Governance within Organisational futuring (and Corporate futuring)
.
.
There exists a close vertical relationship within Organisational futuring:
- Outer focus: Compliance management
- Other focus: HR management
- Inner focus: Governance
.
On the Inner focus level, a close relationship exists with:
- Motivation
- Collaboration
- Managing
.
Corporate futuring and Organisational futuring intertwine, on the Inner focus level, through:
- Long term thinking
- Supporting
- Steering
- Appreciation
.
In concrete terms, this means:
- The trio - 'Governance', 'HR management' and 'Compliance management' - is inextricably linked.
- Your 'Governance' contributes substantially to 'Motication', 'Collaboration' and 'Managing'.
- Furthermore, 'Governance' is part of the Inner focus level where 'Organisational-' and 'Corporate futuring' meet.

Questions we can ask ourselves when contemplating Governance
- Supports our 'Governance' our 'Motivation' our 'Collaboration' and our 'Managing'?
- Is our 'Governance' robust enough to generate a vialble 'HR management'?
- Is our 'Goverance' keen enough to maintain our 'Appreciation' and 'Steering'?
- Is our Governance a collider or a mediator between our 'Motivation' and 'Managing'?
