Episode 5 — Choose governance structures that fit size, culture, and decision speed (1A2)
This episode focuses on selecting governance structures that match how an enterprise actually operates, because a structure that works in one environment can fail in another. You’ll compare centralized, decentralized, and federated governance approaches and learn how each affects consistency, responsiveness, and control. We’ll discuss practical design factors: organizational size, geographic distribution, regulatory burden, delivery model, and how quickly decisions must be made without sacrificing oversight. You’ll also examine common failure modes, such as over-centralized bottlenecks that encourage workarounds, or over-decentralized models that create inconsistent standards and duplicated spend. Through scenario examples, you’ll practice choosing structures that preserve decision speed while still enforcing enterprise-wide guardrails, which is a frequent exam theme when the question asks you to balance alignment and agility.
