The simple idea behind a governance framework is to help your organization make better decisions. That’s where the simplicity ends. According to Mr. Dreyfuss, its operations involve people at many different levels and departments — internally and externally — and also requires parallel programs for change management and technology.
The article walks you through the six steps that you’ll follow in setting up the framework and includes these suggestions, which it details:
- Involve all key players.
- Secure high-level organizational support.
- Choose carefully a feasible implementation strategy.
- Expect resistance and deal with it through a parallel change management program.
- Collect results and advertise them.
- Communicate continuously.
