Episode 3 — Connect enterprise strategy to IT governance outcomes leaders can measure (1B1)
This episode teaches you how to translate enterprise strategy into governance outcomes that are observable, measurable, and defensible in executive conversations. You’ll learn to start with strategic intent—growth, efficiency, resilience, compliance posture, or customer experience—and trace it into what governance must produce: portfolio priorities, standards, funding rules, risk boundaries, and performance measures. We’ll cover how to avoid vague strategy statements by converting them into outcome language, such as time-to-market targets, service reliability expectations, cost-to-serve improvements, or risk exposure thresholds. You’ll practice a scenario-style approach where a strategic shift forces governance adjustments, such as redefining decision rights, changing investment criteria, or tightening assurance reporting. This directly maps to exam questions that test whether you can align governance actions to strategy rather than selecting controls at random.
