My approach
An integrated approach to governance
Most organisations manage the following separately:
- risks;
- compliance;
- processes;
- suppliers;
- technologies;
- transformation projects.
I favour an integrated approach that ensures consistency between the organisation’s decisions, responsibilities, risks and objectives.
This approach is based in particular on MS4ICT™, my methodological framework for governance and management.

RDG™ – From Risk to Decision
Risks must inform decisions.
Decisions must guide governance.
RDG™ (Risk-Driven Governance) is the approach I have developed to link risks to decision-making and decision-making to governance.
