Episode 11 — Set clear objectives for your enterprise governance framework and outcomes (Task 1)
This episode explains how to define governance objectives that are specific enough to guide real decisions and measurable enough to prove results, which is exactly what CGEIT scenario questions tend to test. You’ll learn how to express objectives in outcome language, such as improving value delivery, increasing transparency of decision rights, reducing risk exposure, or strengthening compliance assurance, instead of vague statements like “improve governance.” We’ll connect objectives to stakeholders, success measures, and decision triggers so the governance framework can be evaluated for effectiveness over time. You’ll also walk through common pitfalls, including conflicting objectives across business units, objectives that ignore constraints like funding and capacity, and objectives that cannot be evidenced during audits or executive reviews. By the end, you’ll be able to select governance objectives that drive consistent behavior, support prioritization, and map cleanly to metrics and reporting expectations.
