GOVERNANCE MODEL
FRAMEWORK
OVERVIEW
The Governance Model defines ownership, accountability, and oversight across the framework. It ensures standards are applied consistently, decisions are accountable, and change is controlled.
The Governance Model establishes who is responsible for defining, applying, reviewing, and changing standards.
It provides clear accountability for decisions made under the framework, ensuring authority is appropriately delegated while maintaining oversight and consistency across the organisation.
Governance is not designed to slow decisions, but to ensure they remain defensible and aligned over time.

Governance is not designed to slow decisions, but to ensure they remain defensible and aligned over time.
PURPOSE
The purpose of the Governance Model is to ensure that standards and decisions are owned, applied, and reviewed within a clear accountability structure.
Specifically, it is designed to:
- Define decision authority and accountability
- Ensure consistent oversight and escalation
- Prevent ambiguity in ownership
- Support disciplined change and review
- Maintain organisational confidence in outcomes
HOW STRUCTURE & LOGIC IS USED
The Governance Model operates continuously alongside the framework.
Decision-makers apply standards within their delegated authority, while review and oversight roles monitor outcomes and consistency. When decisions exceed defined limits or pose elevated risk, escalation pathways are triggered.
This model ensures accountability without centralising every decision, allowing confident, consistent judgement.
