EY’s experience when<br />
see<strong>in</strong>g misalignment<br />
across and between<br />
the governance tiers is<br />
usually, if not always,<br />
associated with a<br />
challenged and/or<br />
failed program.<br />
A visually depicted decision framework helps to determ<strong>in</strong>e if a priority misalignment exists<br />
with<strong>in</strong> and across governance tiers (<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g suppliers) that could lead to decision-mak<strong>in</strong>g<br />
disconnects on the project — a key reason why many projects become challenged.<br />
The graphs below show the priorities of the six factors by each resource with<strong>in</strong> the<br />
tier; each l<strong>in</strong>e corresponds to one resource’s priorities. As you can easily see, there is<br />
significant misalignment both with<strong>in</strong> each governance tier and between governance tiers<br />
and little hope for aligned trade-off decisions <strong>in</strong> achiev<strong>in</strong>g success; as success has many<br />
and <strong>in</strong>consistent decisions.<br />
