Governance sketch

Sketch to describe the very worst of traditional governance theatre.

What’s interesting?

  • Governance is the management framework that ensures the right things are delivered in the right way, but this isn’t how it works in many organisations.

  • The picture describes how traditional governance practices block delivery at pace:

    • Meeting hell and an industry of status reporting and slides

    • How the plan becomes the focus, rather than the impact or the voice of the user.

    • The enormous amount of effort that goes into predicting the future

    • People are being seen as resources to be thrown at a project or programme.

  • There is a better way: Building what’s useful: governance and agile delivery, and Governance - there is a better way
