Regulations
Broader Governance Coverage vs. Simpler Governance Structure
Business Context. Extending governance to cover more processes across the enterprise strengthens overall control, but each new process category tends to spawn its own committee or review structure, multiplying complexity.
Process TRIZ Resolution. Rather than creating new governance bodies for every process category, organizations should apply a single tiered governance model that scales oversight intensity by risk, extending coverage without proliferating separate structures.
Applicable TRIZ Principles
Principle 6 (Universality) applies one governance model that serves processes across risk levels through configuration.
Principle 35 (Parameter Changes) adjusts oversight intensity by tier within a single structure.
Principle 2 (Taking Out) removes redundant governance bodies covering overlapping process areas.
Expected Outcome
Broad governance coverage
Simplified structure
Lower administrative overhead
Consistent oversight standards
Decision Indicators
Multiple committees oversee overlapping process categories.
Process owners are unsure which governance body applies to their process.
New process categories automatically spawn new committees.
Governance overhead grows faster than the number of governed processes.
Staff describe the governance landscape as fragmented.
If several of these indicators are present, the contradiction is likely active and the Process TRIZ resolution above should be evaluated.
