Influential Governance

Governance must be viewed and assessed at the enterprise level to enhance management effectiveness and improve organizational maturity.

Governance is a collective mindset; and can be used to raise visibility and awareness for many things that are captured at the different levels of the organization.


Corporate governance discipline can fulfill its purpose as a high-level business enabler by providing a structured communication bridge between shareholders/investors and top business leaders such as corporate directors. Effective leaders build governance standards and a set of GRC practices, help to build a strong culture with the very characteristics such as strong vision and accountability, improve reliable service/solution deliveries, cost optimization, availability of talents, scalability of operations, or culture cohesiveness, etc.


Information Governance: Business Intelligence data governance refers to the frameworks, policies, and practices that organizations implement to manage information-based systems and the data they use. It's crucial because it ensures business applications or machine learning is developed and deployed ethically, securely, and in compliance with regulations. As AI technologies evolve, governance frameworks need to be regularly updated to address new challenges and opportunities. By implementing robust AI data governance, organizations can harness the power of AI while ensuring responsible, ethical, and compliant use of data and AI technologies.


Process Governance: Get senior management focus and ensure that process owners are at a sufficiently senior level in the organization to do process improvement. There are different types of Process governance initiatives that are likely to be aligned with process improvement and change such as efficiency and standardization, customer focus, and innovation. Identify, plan, and take governance decisions on the levels that need to be followed in the system model, organizations go for defining end-to-end processes for system models, such as Engagement processes and Enabling processes. Usually, the end-to-end system model is under change control. You can only manage what you measure. If you are not measuring the performance of these assets and senior management does not have a long-term strategy to improve and leverage these assets, governance becomes significantly more challenging. 


People-centric governance: From a people management perspective, with strong governance, appreciate that autonomy and alignment are not rivals but two faces of the same coin. Without people, governance is only the mechanism to limit business potential. Thus, governance needs to be people-centric, including engagement and motivation because a focus on command & control has the tendency to create silos, decelerating the growth of the business. Customized governance can be perceived as a people-centric process, leadership persona, and effective tactics, to enhance delegation of authority, and accountability enhancement.


Governance should be viewed and assessed at the enterprise boardroom level to enhance management effectiveness and improve organizational maturity. Governance is important but should be handled and prioritized in such a manner that they're inherent in the way without negatively impacting the working flexibility to deliver premium solutions and to ensure clear and concise information to key decision-makers.
