Practice Governance¶

Why This Exists¶

This document defines how Practices are governed in the Algosure Digital Procurement Company.

Owner¶

The owner is the Chief Product Officer and Enterprise Architect.

Business Value¶

Practice governance ensures that capabilities, SOPs, Digital Professionals, workflows, and KPIs remain aligned to business outcomes and domain ownership boundaries.

Governance Responsibilities¶

Governance area	Responsibility
Capability ownership	Each capability must have one owning Practice.
SOP governance	Repeatable work must be governed by approved SOPs.
KPI governance	Practice performance must be measured with defined KPIs.
Digital Professional guardrails	Professionals execute within Practice responsibilities and domain boundaries.
Cross-practice collaboration	Events, workflows, meetings, and Executive Office coordination manage handoffs.
Domain alignment	Practices must respect source-domain ownership of business facts.

Executive Office Governance¶

The Executive Office governs coordination across Practices.

Ari coordinates Practice priorities and procurement leadership.
