What we discussed 🎓: 🟢 The early signals that your building technology needs stronger governance before it stalls or creates risk 🟢 What traditional IT governance can teach CRE leaders who are scaling connected portfolios 🟢 What actually changes when a clear operating model is in place, in decision-making, risk management, and day-to-day operations 🟢 How experienced leaders prevent performance from drifting as they scale 🟢 The governance blind spots that CIOs and technology leaders say catch their peers off guard
