Episode 22 — Evaluate your governance framework to find gaps, overlaps, and weak signals (Task 11)
This episode teaches you how to evaluate a governance framework as a living system, looking for gaps where decisions are not owned, overlaps where forums duplicate work, and weak signals that indicate governance is drifting before a failure becomes visible. You’ll learn practical evaluation methods, including reviewing decision-right clarity, testing how exceptions are handled, assessing whether metrics drive action, and validating whether governance forums produce documented decisions with traceable outcomes. We’ll discuss common weak signals such as rising exception volume, inconsistent standards enforcement, delayed approvals that trigger workarounds, and recurring audit findings that never fully close. You’ll also practice how to interpret evidence like meeting minutes, escalation logs, portfolio decisions, and performance reporting to determine whether governance is effective. For CGEIT scenario questions, the “best next step” often involves targeted evaluation to identify root governance weaknesses rather than jumping directly to new controls or reorganizations.
