Governance Metrics Without Dashboard Theater
Pick a small set of operational signals that leadership trusts and teams can influence weekly.
Overview
This program pushes back on vanity metrics. You will define signal quality, source-of-truth agreements, and review rituals that connect metrics to corrective actions. Scenarios include access review completion, patch latency, and training completion—not promotional scorecards. Visual exercises use narrative descriptions rather than numeric mockups to keep focus on decision quality.
