Digital Governance
Digital governance defines decision ownership, authority, policies, and accountability for digital transformation initiatives, systems, and data.
Explanation
It keeps unresolved decisions visible before they become delays: who approves scope, who owns data, and how risk and exceptions are managed.
Business context
Good governance is not extra bureaucracy; it matches the level of risk and complexity so delivery waves stay executable.
Frequently asked questions
- Does governance slow delivery?
- Good governance reduces delays caused by unclear ownership; it should match risk and complexity.
