Fix the structure: procedures & controls Clear, recorded, and imposed procedures are no longer a "nice to have": they are crucial for stability.
Embed governance and accountability Strong policies, clear ownership, and ethical practices are what safeguard services in unsure times.

This has to do with stabilization for today. If you're browsing these obstacles, I 'd be delighted to exchange perspectives.
