Architectural Governance
Governance is essentially about ensuring that business is conducted properly to ensure sustainability of an organisation’s objectives. It is... Less about overt control and strict adherence to
rules; More about guidance and effective and equitable
usage of resources.
Governance Domains
We believe Architecture Governance operates within a hierarchy of governance structures and helps to govern at all levels within an organisation:
Corporate
Governance
Technology
Governance
IT
Governance
Architecture
Governance
Adaptive Governance Framework
We are able to tailor and align client specific governance frameworks with best practice: IT Governance (COBIT) - addresses the need for
sound IT governance practices with a globally accepted IT control and governance framework;
IT Service Management (ITIL) - provides globally accepted leading edge governance framework for IT service management;
Portfolio, Program & Project Office (P3O) - provides a decision enabling/delivery support structure for all change within an organisation;
Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) - focused on delivering business benefits through the delivery of new capabilities from projects;
Project Management (PRINCE2) - ensures that
projects are focused and delivered on time and on budget;
Architecture Evaluation (ATAM) - measures how well your architecture is designed against the business drivers.
Our Core Governance Tenets
Discipline – Our commitment to adhere to procedures and best practice;
Transparency – Available for inspection by authorised organisation and provider parties;
Independence – Minimise or avoid potential conflicts;
Accountability – Decision makers are authorised and accountable for their actions;
Responsibility – Act responsibly to the organisation and its stakeholders; and
Fairness – Not allowed to create unfair advantage.
Our Approach
Implement a system of check points over the creation and monitoring of all architectural components and activities;
Ensure effective introduction, implementation, and evolution of architectures within the organisation;
Implement a system to ensure compliance with integral and external standards and regulatory obligations;
Effectively manage processes (above) within agreed parameters;
Develop practices that ensure accountability to a clearly identified stakeholder community, both inside and outside the organisation; and
Ensure Architecture Governance is a Board-Level responsibility.
Core Governance Elements
Governance Framework; Cross-organisational Architecture Board; Comprehensive set of Architecture Principles; An Architecture Compliance Strategy.
“Central to the notion of operating a successful ongoing Enterprise Architecture is
the execution of well-defined and effective governance …”
