Governance Framework Setup
Build your own architecture governance capability from scratch. We design and implement the principles, processes, and tools your organisation needs to manage its own technical architecture, then hand over the keys.
Why most governance fails
Most organisations try to build governance by copying someone else's framework or hiring a junior architect to "write some standards." The result is a governance function that either gets ignored or creates so much friction that teams work around it.
Effective governance needs to be practical, proportionate, and embedded in how your teams actually work. We build governance frameworks that people use, not documents that collect dust.
A complete governance toolkit
Architectural Principles
Clear, actionable principles that guide decisions without becoming bureaucratic blockers. Aligned to your business strategy and technology landscape.
ARB Operating Model
Terms of reference, membership, cadence, and decision-making authority. Designed to be lightweight and effective rather than heavyweight and ignored.
Review Processes
Design review templates, submission criteria, and approval workflows. Integrated into your existing delivery processes, not bolted on as an afterthought.
Exception Management
A pragmatic exception and deviation framework. Because sometimes you need to break the rules, but you need to know why, track it, and plan to fix it.
