The Solomon365 platform addresses sound governance by defining management and advisory roles while outlining ten leadership challenges, such as role clarity and information overload. It offers a diagnostic process for understanding current governance states and equips organizations with tools and resources for improved risk intelligence and continuous improvement. The platform aims to enhance collaboration and alignment between boards and management, fostering trust and a unified approach to organizational health.
