Workflow 10 — Decision Governance
Strategic & Board Decisions.
Every board-level decision — capital, M&A, strategic plan, risk appetite, succession — recorded with rationale, supporting evidence drawn from workflows 1–9, and outcome tracking through the next strategic cycle.
The shared decision anatomy
Every Decision Governance Workflow follows the same five-step structure. The Strategic & Board Decisions workflow uses it like this:
- Signal. Capital event, M&A opportunity, strategic-plan checkpoint, risk-appetite review, succession trigger.
- Owner. CEO with Board / committee of jurisdiction (Risk, Audit, Compensation, Nominating).
- Decision. Position taken with rationale, supporting evidence drawn from workflows 1–9, and dissent recorded.
- Action. Decision recorded in board record; cascading actions assigned to executives with timelines.
- Outcome. Board decisions are reconstructable in full — and tied to operating evidence, not just the deck.

Operational inheritance
Workflow 10 is the apex tier. It inherits structured evidence from Workflows 01–09 automatically: every board-level decision — capital, M&A, strategic plan, risk appetite, succession — ties back to the operational record beneath it. The board file is no longer a deck assembled in retrospect; it is a living record with operational evidence already linked.
How to start
Workflow 10 is the apex layer and is unlocked with the Enterprise tier only. Enterprise unlocks all ten workflows — the nine operational workflows plus this apex workflow linking strategic decisions to operational evidence beneath. Talk to us about scoping.
