Stages and Steps in the Design Process

00:00

there are different stages and steps in the design process that need to be addressed.

00:05

So in this video we're going to talk about the forest stages and steps of designing a governance program, an overview of each step and the end result of the design process.

00:16

So there are four steps and stages in the governance system. Design workflow.

00:20

Let's go through each One

00:23

step One is to understand the enterprise, context and strategy,

00:27

meaning it's essential to first understand the enterprise, its strategy goals, its current risk profile and I t related issues.

00:36

What is the enterprises strategy?

00:38

Is it focused on being more risk averse or being more innovative? What are the goals?

00:43

Is it being more customer service oriented or remaining compliant with laws and regulations that it's subject thio?

00:49

What is the current risk profile of the company? What risks does it face?

00:54

What is its risk appetite?

00:56

What are the risks aligned with the organization's risk appetite?

01:00

It's also important to understand the current IT related issues the enterprise face

01:04

is it non compliant with laws and regulations and standards is the cost of I t excessively high,

01:11

determine and understand what these issues are.

01:17

Step two is to determine the initial scope of the governance system.

01:21

Consider what the enterprise strategy is.

01:23

What will the scope and tail

01:26

consider the enterprises goals and apply the goals? Cascade.

01:30

Do you remember how the goals cascade links enterprise goals with alignment goals?

01:34

Thus, consider what are your enterprise goals? And consider how they will link thio alignment goals

01:41

that should assist you with setting your scope for your governance system.

01:45

Additionally, consider the risk profile and the current it related issues the enterprise faces.

01:49

For example, an enterprise that wants to manage risk and is overall risk averse will include its risk profile and I t related issues that poses risk in its scope. And it may frame its entire scope around the aforementioned

02:07

Step three focuses on refining the scope of the governance system.

02:10

Consider the threat landscape

02:13

compliance requirements, role of I T sourcing model I T implementation methods, enterprise size and the I T. Adoption strategy. When refining your scope,

02:23

make sure you are being inclusive to have a meaningful impact of your I T governance program, while balancing a scope that does not lose track and site of your overall goals, and business objectives.

02:35

Having a refined scope will ensure that you are upholding the governance and management objectives that support your I t. Governance of your enterprise.

02:46

Lastly, Step four will conclude the governance system design.

02:51

In this step, you will resolve inherent priority conflicts and set the priority of your enterprise.

02:55

For example, managing security and supporting innovation may have conflicts.

03:01

Thus set the priority for your I t governance objectives.

03:06

In this step, you will conclude the governance system and design, and you'll begin to start implementation.

03:14

Okay, quick pop quiz. How many steps are there in the design process as defined by Kobe? It,

03:20

if you said for you are right.

03:23

The previous four steps will result in recommendations for prioritizing objectives, target capability levels and an adoption of specific variance of a government system component.

03:35

Recommendations for prioritizing objectives will be the result of the aforementioned steps in that it will allow an enterprise to focus on the needs that support the main drivers of a nightie governance program.

03:46

Target capability levels will also be introduced depending on what the organization requires.

03:53

For example, an organization in a highly regulated industry will need a higher capability level of compliance with laws and regulations than it's less regulated counterparts.

04:04

The adoption of specific variance of a governance component will allow for a governance system that is tailored to a specific organizations needs.

04:14

Not all organizations are the same. So for talking about a company that is highly regulated, it will adopt specific variants, such as a work culture that is risk aware and security aware.

04:26

This can result in conflicting guidance.

04:29

Let's take the previous example of an enterprise that wants to support innovation and security

04:33

guidance for what the enterprise should focus on. Maybe conflicting.

04:38

Thus, the final decision will be a case by case decision, and it will vary from enterprise to enterprise.

04:46

Ultimately, this creates a governance system that is tailored to an enterprises needs as the design factors vary as objectives and components vary between organizations.
