Episode 19 — Align GEIT with shared services so controls are consistent and reusable (Task 8)
This episode explains how governance aligns with shared services—such as centralized infrastructure, security, identity, procurement, service management, and data platforms—so controls are applied consistently and reused instead of reinvented. You’ll learn why shared services can strengthen governance by providing standardized capabilities, predictable service levels, and clearer accountability, but also how they can fail when service catalogs are unclear or when business units bypass them. We’ll walk through scenarios like inconsistent onboarding controls across regions, separate tool stacks that duplicate cost, and conflicting priorities between shared service owners and product teams. You’ll also cover how governance should define service ownership, funding models, performance measures, and exception handling, so shared services remain responsive while enforcing enterprise guardrails. On the CGEIT exam, this often shows up as choosing answers that standardize and rationalize control execution through shared services rather than tolerating fragmented, high-variance practices.
