Episode 83 — Develop and communicate risk policies and standards people can follow (Task 38)
This episode focuses on developing and communicating risk policies and standards that people can actually follow, because governance fails when requirements are unclear, unrealistic, or disconnected from day-to-day workflows. You’ll learn how to write policy intent in outcome terms, then support it with standards that define what “compliant” looks like using testable requirements, approved patterns, and role-based expectations. We’ll cover how communication should be targeted to audiences who execute the work, including delivery teams, operations, procurement, and business owners, and how to provide practical guidance that reduces decision fatigue and accelerates compliant delivery. Real-world troubleshooting includes standards that are too complex to apply under time pressure, conflicting requirements across departments, and awareness programs that teach definitions but never change behavior. For CGEIT scenarios, the best answers typically emphasize clarity, usability, accountability, and measurable adherence monitoring so policies and standards shape decisions consistently instead of being treated as optional paperwork.
