Episode 29 — Run stakeholder engagement that turns governance into shared ownership (Task 17)
This episode focuses on stakeholder engagement as a governance capability that turns compliance into commitment by making ownership shared, expectations clear, and decisions transparent. You’ll learn to identify stakeholder groups that influence GEIT outcomes, such as business sponsors, risk and compliance leaders, security, architecture, finance, operations, and delivery teams, then define how engagement should work through forums, communications, escalation paths, and decision records. We’ll discuss how to manage competing priorities without letting governance collapse into negotiation-by-exhaustion, including how to use evidence, risk appetite, and enterprise objectives to resolve disputes. Real-world scenarios include stakeholders bypassing forums, inconsistent participation in decision meetings, and misalignment between what leaders approve and what teams execute. For CGEIT questions, the best answer often strengthens engagement structures and accountability so stakeholders consistently support governance outcomes rather than undermining them through informal decision-making.
