Stronger Governance Maturity Measurement vs. Simpler Assessment Process
Business Context. Comprehensive maturity assessments provide a detailed picture of governance strength across the organization, but the complexity of running such assessments can make them burdensome to administer and interpret regularly.
Process TRIZ Resolution. Rather than running a single exhaustive maturity assessment infrequently, organizations should use a simplified set of leading indicators tracked continuously, reserving the full comprehensive assessment for a less frequent, deeper validation cycle.
Applicable TRIZ Principles
Principle 1 (Segmentation) separates continuous leading-indicator tracking from periodic comprehensive assessment.
Principle 19 (Periodic Action) reserves the full comprehensive assessment for a less frequent validation cycle.
Principle 2 (Taking Out) removes assessment complexity from the frequent, ongoing tracking process.
Expected Outcome
Comprehensive maturity insight
Simplified ongoing assessment
Continuous governance visibility
Efficient use of assessment resources
Decision Indicators
Maturity assessments are so complex they are run only rarely.
No leading indicators exist between full assessment cycles.
Governance maturity trends are invisible between assessments.
Assessment complexity discourages regular use by process owners.
Findings from the last assessment are outdated by the time of the next one.
If several of these indicators are present, the contradiction is likely active and the Process TRIZ resolution above should be evaluated.
