ISACA Wellington is inviting participation from its members. Thanks to our members, our last ThinkTank session "What is the meaning of Governance" was lively, thought provoking and covered a lot of ground.
Attached are notes from the first chapter think tank, where we considered the definition of governance.
Members are invited to propose a think tank topic, which can be on anything relevant to assurance, security, and governance, including issues that you are personally tackling in your organisation.
The format of think tanks is that the proposer presents a topic or issue for 5 to 10 minutes followed by discussion. This is a superb opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences and to essentially bring a collection of brainpower to bear on a subject.
