Chapter 7 Governance: Funding Intelligence, Protecting the Results
Key Points and Questions
- Governance should be a facilitator of communication, priority, and oversight. If it's seen as a block or a hassle, it's broken. . . . fix it. Like a referee, the best project managers are in the middle of the game, but not noticeable except when needed.
- Governance's biggest responsibility should be to review past projects for the business results achieved. This is the only way to validate new business cases.
- Change the mindset from one of risk avoidance to seizing opportunity, and governance will be established correctly and deliver:
- – Insights during crisis with all stakeholders
