Where to Start
If You Have Twenty Minutes, Start Here.
Three author-recommended entry points for readers arriving at the paper from different angles.
Section 1: Executive Summary
The full thesis arc in one section. The Governance Paradox, the three structural defects, the case ledger, and the architectural response. Reads in twenty minutes. Stands alone.
Section 4: The Evidence of Failure
Boeing, Wirecard, Silicon Valley Bank, the Post Office, and Carillion, examined as documented governance failures rather than as parables. The chapter most readers cite when prompting a conversation about their own board.
Section 8: Defining Strategic Governance as a Service
The formal definition, the five design principles, and how SGaaS sits alongside the Three Lines Model without replacing internal governance functions. The reference point for the four-tier architecture in Section 10.
A note from Owen
The paper diagnoses three structural defects. It then presents the architectural response and the four tiers through which Marentis Labs delivers it. If the diagnosis describes your board, a confidential Diagnostic conversation takes 30 minutes. No pitch. A practitioner discussion of your governance context, structured around the questions the paper raises.
