Governance operating model

The one-page artifact that makes a stewardship register enforceable: a decision-rights matrix (who decides, who is consulted, who implements, for each recurring decision type), the escalation path a disagreement follows to a named executive seat, and the meeting cadence with each group's standing question. Employers ask for this page by name; sized to the organization, it can be two rows for a small company or a full matrix for a bank.

Defined in 2 GAGE programs, which carry 2 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in Certified AI Data Governance Professional (CADGP).

How each discipline defines it

Certified AI Transformation Professional (CATP)
