Episode 7 — Develop governance strategy that aligns to enterprise direction and constraints (1A3)
This episode explains governance strategy as the plan for how governance will achieve enterprise direction while respecting real constraints like budget limits, talent availability, risk tolerance, regulatory obligations, and technology debt. You’ll learn how governance strategy differs from IT strategy by focusing on the rules of decision-making, oversight mechanisms, and performance expectations that guide IT-related choices over time. We’ll explore how constraints shape governance priorities, such as emphasizing compliance reporting in regulated industries, or emphasizing portfolio discipline when capital is scarce. You’ll practice building a governance strategy narrative that ties together decision rights, policy intent, governance forums, and metrics so leadership can understand what will change and why. For exam purposes, you’ll learn to recognize when a scenario needs governance strategy adjustments rather than isolated control changes, especially when the root issue is misalignment with enterprise direction.
