Episode 37 — Create communication and awareness that makes governance practical, not abstract (1B4)
This episode explains how to build communication and awareness so governance becomes practical guidance people can follow, not abstract statements that live in policy folders. You’ll learn how to communicate governance intent in plain business language, tie it to day-to-day decisions, and show teams what evidence and behaviors are expected at key checkpoints like intake, design review, procurement, change approval, and release readiness. We’ll cover methods that increase adoption, such as role-based messaging, short decision guides, standard templates, and examples of “what good looks like” for common scenarios like vendor onboarding or data sharing. Real-world troubleshooting includes awareness programs that focus on definitions instead of behaviors, inconsistent messaging across regions, and governance updates that never reach the people who actually execute controls. For CGEIT, this maps to questions where the best action is strengthening communication and awareness so accountability and compliance improve through understanding and usability, not through more enforcement alone.
