Enterprise Governance
Strong governance doesn’t slow you downit gives you the clarity and control to move faster with confidence. iCore’s Enterprise Governance service helps you establish the structures, rhythms, and accountability mechanisms that drive better decisions, sharper execution, and measurable results across your digital and IT landscape.
We build governance that works in the real world, adaptive, effective, and embedded.
Why Choose Us?
Many governance models either become bloated and bureaucratic or too lightweight to drive meaningful action. At iCore, we take a pragmatic, business-outcome-first approach, helping you create governance that connects strategy to delivery, ensures oversight without overreach, and empowers teams to perform.
This service is ideal if:
-
You’ve outgrown informal or outdated governance models
-
Your IT or digital strategy lacks alignment with board-level oversight
-
Roles, responsibilities, and decision rights are unclear or duplicated
-
You need greater assurance across investment, risk, and performance areas
What’s included?
Our Enterprise Governance engagements are tailored to your organisational context and strategic ambitions:
-
Governance maturity assessment – Review of your current governance landscape and pain points
-
Board and executive alignment – Clarifying strategic roles, mandates, and reporting lines
-
Design of governance structures – From steering groups to working forums, with clear scopes and cadence

Build governance that enables, not obstructs
When done right, governance is a source of strength — not admin. iCore helps you bring clarity, discipline, and value to how decisions are made and followed through.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to establish a fit-for-purpose governance model?
This depends on your current structure and the scope of change required. Many engagements take between 4 and 10 weeks. We focus on delivering value early — starting with quick wins and building towards a sustainable, embedded model.
Will this create more bureaucracy in our organisation?
Quite the opposite. Our approach strips away unnecessary complexity. We focus on right-sizing governance — ensuring it supports decision-making, improves accountability, and accelerates outcomes rather than creating red tape.
Who needs to be involved in the governance design process?
We typically engage a mix of stakeholders, including board representatives, business leaders, digital and IT heads, and change delivery functions. Governance only works when it reflects the full ecosystem — not just IT.
What if we already have governance in place — can this still help?
Absolutely. Many organisations have legacy structures that no longer reflect how the business actually works. We review what’s in place, identify gaps and overlaps, and help evolve your model to support today’s operating reality.
How will this support our business outcomes?
Good governance ensures the right things get done — in the right way, by the right people, at the right time. It provides visibility, reduces risk, improves performance, and ultimately aligns your operational activity with your strategic objectives.
