Greater Enterprise Digital Maturity vs. Simpler Governance Overhead
Business Context. Advancing enterprise digital maturity, spanning integrated platforms, automated workflows, and data-driven decision-making, naturally requires more sophisticated governance structures than a less mature environment, but organizations often want that governance to remain as simple as possible.
Process TRIZ Resolution. Rather than allowing governance sophistication to grow unchecked alongside maturity, organizations should periodically review and consolidate governance mechanisms as maturity increases, ensuring governance structures are simplified and integrated rather than merely accumulated over time.
Applicable TRIZ Principles
Principle 19 (Periodic Action) reviews and consolidates governance mechanisms periodically as maturity increases.
Principle 5 (Merging) consolidates previously separate governance mechanisms into unified structures.
Principle 2 (Taking Out) removes governance mechanisms that have become redundant as maturity advances.
Expected Outcome
Advancing digital maturity
Manageable governance overhead
Consolidated, efficient governance structures
Sustainable governance evolution
Decision Indicators
Governance mechanisms have accumulated without ever being consolidated.
Governance overhead has grown continuously alongside digital maturity.
No periodic review exists to simplify governance as capability matures.
Staff describe governance as increasingly fragmented and burdensome.
Multiple overlapping governance processes address the same underlying risk.
If several of these indicators are present, the contradiction is likely active and the Process TRIZ resolution above should be evaluated.
