Governance programmes fail by trying to be complete on day one. This defines a small first phase, gets it working, and adds the rest deliberately.
What's Included
- A small first phase that can actually be delivered.
- Later phases parked visibly so nothing is lost or argued about.
- Progress measured by what works not by what is documented.
- An assistant that says what is worth doing next.
How To Use
- Start with an inventory and an approval queue. Nothing else on day one.
- Park later phases visibly so people stop arguing about them now.
- Measure adoption, not documentation.
- Add a control when something has gone wrong or is clearly about to.
Deliver phase one with the governance office, and justify it with the business case.
