Do you know how power works and what a board does?
When the easy FinOps savings are gone, the next challenge is not another dashboard. It is understanding how decisions really happen.In this first episode of the series, Frank starts at the very top of the company: the owners, the board, and the auditor. Before we talk about cloud strategy, budgets, engineering, or FinOps policies, we need to understand where power sits and how it flows.This episode gives practitioners a simple map of corporate power: shareholders delegate authority to the board, the board governs management, and auditors provide independent confidence that the company’s story matches reality.For FinOps practitioners trying to move beyond rightsizing, reports, and low-hanging fruit, this is the starting point. Advanced FinOps is not only about finding waste. It is about helping organisations make better decisions about technology, money, risk, and value.
