In evolved organizations, governance is externalized, reducing reliance on arbitrary decisions by individual leaders

Stage 2 - Current state Assessment
Where are you at?
Take a moment to reflect on your organization’s current state.
- What systems are in place for governance and decision-making?
- How clear is your vision and how aligned is your team?
- Are bottlenecks or inefficiencies slowing you down?
This step is about gaining clarity on your present situation—what’s working, what’s not, and where you might need change.
Are you okay with it?
Evaluate your current systems honestly:
- Do they support your goals, or are they holding you back?
- Are your team members empowered, or does progress rely too heavily on individual decision-makers?
- Does your organization feel scalable and sustainable as it stands?
Being okay with where you’re at doesn’t mean there’s no room for improvement, it just determines how big of a change is needed.
To Evolve, Or Not To Evolve?
Once you’ve assessed your current state, the question becomes: Do you want to evolve?
- Are you ready to implement systems that enable growth and scalability?
- Are you willing to embrace change to unlock your organization’s potential?
Evolution isn’t mandatory now, but it’s an incredible opportunity that helps future proof your organization.
If the answer is yes, we can help you with any of the steps along the way.
Stage 4 - component design
Finalize PSP Strategy
We highly recommend unifying how all tasks are tracked in your organization within a unified PSP management system.
This allow you to design shared workflows between departments that automatically tie the entire organization together.
If you choose governance.company to help you with this journey, we have templates for a PSP system in Jira.
Service and Product Definition
After determining a core management strategy, you need to define which Products and Services need a component management system within your BMS.
Both services and products could be internal or external, and you may choose to group them together as such.
How granular you decide to get with breaking up services is up to you. We recommend using "Distinct or Delegated" to determine whether an individual MS is needed for each product or service.
Value Network Infrastructure (VNI) Design
A well designed and maintained Value Network Infrastructure (VNI) is essential to a BMS having delegable components that are still integrated and cohesive within an holistic system.
It includes all core tech choices such as email & messaging, file management, and your PSP system.
By defining and supporting this core infrastructure centrally, delegated owners can do whatever the system allows knowing that it's within the bounds of the org's overall system.
Stage 5 - Component construction

Establishing the PSP system early on allows you to use it throughout the rest of implementation and iterate as needed.

VNI construction and documentation is no light task. This will require coordination with IT resources to ensure that all infrastructure components are documented and maintained properly.

Once the core structures are built out, you can invite delegated owners into the environment to begin building their component systems to their liking.
Stage 6 - Team Approval & Training
Get Everyone on the Same Page
Before flipping any switches and calling your BMS "live", you need to ensure your team is fully aware and on board with the changes.
There will be new policies, procedures, and technology to use. It's up to your organization's leadership to determine how much preparation is needed.
Keep in mind that any BMS is iterative in nature, so the goal isn't to be perfect from the start. It's to make sure that the migration doesn't break TOO much.
STAGE 9 - ONGOING GOVERNANCE
Regularly Iterate
Maintain Accountability

The hardest part of making any change is sticking with it. The highly visible nature of a modern governance system helps, but organizations need to ensure a culture of accountability and transparency.
Automated and regulated workflows within Jira help, but people are what keep people engaged long term.
Empower Ownership
Maintain Accountability
Empower Ownership
Good governance is all about decentralizing decision-making and ownership of systems.
By continuing to empower different individuals as your organization grows, you ensure that it stays as efficient and ethical as possible.
STAGE 10 - TIME & PEACE OF MIND
Maximize the System Benefits
The point of a good governance system is to ensure that the organization does what it say it will. The biggest benefit of this is clear educations of where you're at and when you can say you and your team have done enough for the day.
This gives you the time and peace of mind to step away from the business while knowing that everything is on track. What you do with the extra time is up to you- we're here to set you free from work stress, it's up to you what you do with your freedom.
