This makes sense and we have most of it in place BUT we are not working together which feels as if it is chaotic and efficient.

this is a mixture of personalities including my own perspective that we need central leadership which makes things happen and holds people accountable - while supporting and providing resources

With a recession looming,we need to get better at this to suceed

Good example from Mass Mutual on the governance of the strategic and operational planning process.

While management accounts must continue to drive the financial planning and forecasting process, good reminder of the importance of looking at the bigger organizational picture, including the role of strategic risk management function enabling robust process.
