Governance and delegations

If every signature runs through the CEO, growth stops there.

Scope
One entity, up to 10 policies
Indicative timing
5–8 weeks
Progress measure
A defined limit and approver for every major decision type

Who it is for: CEO, board or audit committee

Illustrative scenario

A CEO signs everything, from small purchase orders to hires, because authorities were never written down. Managers wait, decisions pile up and investors ask about controls. For one entity we design a delegation-of-authority matrix, approval workflows, a decision log and up to ten policies, built through leadership workshops. Legal review is handled separately by your counsel. Our target is that every major decision type has a defined authority limit and approver.

Workflow

  1. Inventory current decisions and authority

  2. Design DOA matrix

  3. Workflows and policies

  4. Approval workshops and decision log

Out of scope

  • Legal review and opinion
  • Software workflow automation
  • Internal audit

Next step

List the decisions that recur most and stall longest.
