The governance program introduced a suite of high-impact initiatives, including the Startime Talent & Experts Program, the Risk Management Framework, the Workplace Wellbeing & Satisfaction Initiative, the Financial Efficiency & Performance Program, the Strategic Partnerships Platform, and the launch of the Startime Investment Portfolio; These were not merely administrative enhancements they served as strategic lever that drove a remarkable 225% growth in company performance even before the project completion, according to executive performance indicators.
