Episode 2 - Governance can either enable innovation… or quietly kill it
from The Critical Path – Project Management & Leadership in Complex Environments · host Isaac Alcaide
It’s a topic that sits right at the intersection of two forces we often see in tension — control and creativity.Governance frameworks are meant to bring structure, accountability, and assurance. But sometimes, they unintentionally become barriers — slowing decisions, discouraging experimentation, and stifling the very innovation they’re supposed to protect.So in the next twenty minutes, we’ll unpack:What governance really means — and what it’s not.Why governance can both enable and suffocate innovation.Real examples from projects where the balance was right — and where it wasn’t.And finally, how leaders can design governance that gives enough structure to stay safe, but enough freedom to let new ideas grow.#projectmanagement #leadership #projectmanagementtraining #projectmanagementtips #projectmanagementtools
