Episode 60 — Improve governance processes using evidence, feedback loops, and root causes (3A6)
This episode explains how to improve governance processes using evidence, feedback loops, and root cause analysis so improvements are targeted, measurable, and sustained rather than driven by opinion or the latest crisis. You’ll learn how to collect improvement evidence from metrics trends, exception patterns, audit findings, stakeholder feedback, and operational outcomes, then translate that evidence into improvement actions with clear owners and success criteria. We’ll cover how to distinguish symptoms from root causes, such as recognizing when slow approvals are caused by unclear criteria, missing inputs, or overloaded decision forums rather than by “noncompliant teams.” Real-world scenarios include repeated control failures that persist after policy updates, governance committees that add steps without reducing risk, and improvement initiatives that don’t stick because they are not monitored. For CGEIT exam readiness, you’ll practice selecting answers that prioritize disciplined continuous improvement, using measurable evidence and accountability to strengthen governance effectiveness over time.
