Visual Maps 5–8
Map 5 — Principle to execution
Principle → Policy → Standard → Procedure
belief directive measure/rule method/steps
Meaning of arrow: increasing operational specificity, not a strict one-to-one chain.
Map 6 — Build & embed logic
Business problem / drivers
→ readiness + discovery/alignment
→ strategy + operating framework
→ change management + issue/compliance mechanisms
→ standards / glossary / architecture / valuation implementation
→ embed / monitor / measure / fund / improve
↺ iterate / tailor
Label this explicitly as a study synthesis, not a new DAMA-prescribed waterfall.
Map 7 — Issue escalation narrows upward
Stewardship / local / business-unit level
████████████████████████████████ ~80–85% illustrative
↓ unresolved / strategic
Data Governance Council
██████ <20% illustrative
↓ unresolved / enterprise strategic
Steering Committee
█ <5% illustrative
Lesson: solve at the lowest appropriate level; progressively fewer issues escalate. Percentages are illustrative, not quotas.
Map 8 — Behavior first, tools support
GOVERNANCE CAPABILITY
authority • accountability • policy • stewardship
culture • decision rights • issue paths • measurement
supporting tools around it:
website | Business Glossary | workflow | document management | scorecards
Tools support/enables; they do not create governance authority.
