Episode 66 — Assign ownership and accountability so every investment has a responsible leader (Task 29)
This episode teaches you how to assign ownership and accountability so every investment has a responsible leader who can answer for value delivery, risk decisions, and ongoing performance. You’ll clarify what accountability means in governance terms: decision rights, evidence responsibility, and authority to drive corrective action when outcomes drift. We’ll cover practical approaches such as naming an accountable business owner for benefits, defining IT ownership for delivery and operational performance, and establishing shared accountability boundaries for risk and compliance obligations. Real-world scenarios include investments with unclear sponsorship, project managers blamed for benefits they cannot control, and services with no owner for renewals, incident patterns, or technical debt accumulation. On the CGEIT exam, strong answers usually emphasize establishing explicit accountable ownership with documented decision rights, measurable expectations, and governance reporting that makes it obvious who must act when performance or benefits fall short.
