Purpose #

Steer translates the organization’s context into a prioritized view of governance and management objectives. It narrows a large reference model into a baseline leadership can challenge and use.

What the designer asks about #

  • Enterprise strategy and goals.
  • The IT risk profile and current IT-related issues.
  • Threat landscape and compliance requirements.
  • The role of IT, sourcing model, and implementation methods.
  • The organization’s technology-adoption posture.

Run the designer #

  1. Open the organization

    Confirm you are working in the correct entity before starting a new baseline.

  2. Answer for the current state

    Rate each factor using evidence and leadership judgment, not aspiration.

  3. Review before completing

    Resolve answers that conflict or depend on assumptions you cannot explain.

  4. Open the result

    Complete the designer to calculate and display the prioritized objective view.

Expected result #

The current interface calculates and displays a scored list of governance and management objectives. Treat the result as a conversation about focus: leadership still decides which gaps to fund, sequence, delegate, or accept. Saving a dated baseline is not yet connected.
