Governance structures are designed to protect the business, but over time many contingent workforce programs accumulate layers of approvals, policies, and controls that quietly slow hiring and frustrate stakeholders. In this panel remix, enterprise leaders will share real examples of governance decisions that unintentionally created friction, how they identified the problem, and what they changed. Panelists will then join attendees in small group discussions to explore where governance may be backfiring in their own programs and how to simplify without introducing new risk.

• Identify governance controls that no longer reduce risk but continue to slow hiring
• Learn how leading programs evaluate and retire legacy approvals and policies
• Apply a practical framework to rebalance governance so it supports speed and adoption 

As contingent workforce programs mature, traditional success metrics often fail to capture what actually matters to the business. In this think tank, enterprise buyers will step back to examine how they define success today, which measures still drive the right behavior, and which ones may be reinforcing outdated priorities. The discussion will focus on aligning program goals with business outcomes rather than operational activity. 

• Identify which success metrics no longer reflect business value 
• Learn how peers are redefining program success for mature environments 
• Build a refined scorecard that better aligns to speed, quality, and stakeholder trust
