"I think it's really a change in mindset... once you've got the basics right, it's then taking a step back and asking yourself, what more could we do to help this organisation or this team being the board to do better, to do things more efficiently?" - Anthony WrightJoin Richard Conway as he interviews Anthony Wright, Chair of Hanlon Industries and Director of CPA Australia, about why governance teams need their own operations revolution. Anthony, who founded and successfully exited legal technology business Lexvoco, argues that whilst legal operations has transformed how legal teams work, governance functions remain largely untouched by similar efficiency methodologies.In this episode, Anthony explores how governance teams can move beyond "getting the basics right" to become strategic partners focused on efficiency and effectiveness. He introduces practical frameworks for measuring governance performance using time, cost and quality metrics, challenges the perfectionism trap that many governance professionals fall into, and explains why standardisation doesn't mean losing the bespoke service boards deserve.Drawing on his experience building scalable operations across legal and governance functions, Anthony provides actionable strategies for Company Secretaries wanting to demonstrate value through operational excellence._____________Follow Podcast Host ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Richard Conway⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on LinkedInFollow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠boardcycle⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on LinkedInVisit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠boardcycle website
