Workflow 10 — Decision Governance
Strategic & board decisions.
Every board-level decision recorded with rationale, supporting evidence from workflows 1–9, and outcome tracking through the next strategic cycle.
What goes wrong without it
Board file is a deck
The record of a decision often lives in the slides, not in a structured, reconstructable form.
Evidence not linked
Operational evidence supporting a board decision lives in different systems and may be hard to retrieve later.
Outcomes not tracked
The next strategic cycle starts before the last one's decisions are evaluated against actuals.
The shared decision anatomy
Every workflow follows the same five steps. Here’s how strategic & board decisions uses them, with the artifact captured at each step.
What you’ll see
A live view of every item, its owner, its deadline, and the evidence behind its current status.

Evidence captured
Built for the CEO and Board
Replaces the board deck assembled retrospectively from email, shared drives, and operational reports. The board file is a living record with operational evidence already linked.
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.
