Management vs governance: a critical difference
Most systems in the strata industry focus on operational management—logging requests, tracking maintenance, and storing documents. But they often ignore governance: how decisions are made, recorded, and justified.

Without structured governance, buildings rely on memory and email trails. This becomes risky during disputes, audits, or ownership changes.
