DVMS Assurance-Now™ Planning Workshop

Purpose:

This workshop introduces key stakeholders to the concept of building a Governance by Assurance™ Overlay System that continuously transforms fragmented operational data into trusted, audit-ready evidence, enabling leaders to provide continuous assurance that the business is fulfilling its strategic and operational intent for creating, protecting, and delivering trusted, resilient, and accountable digital value.

Key Outcomes:

• Define the organization’s strategy-risk context, mission objectives, and stakeholder expectations.
• Establish governance structures for policy, accountability, and cultural alignment that set the foundation for DVMS adoption.
• Create a DVMS roadmap to support continual improvement and prepare for the assessment and design phase.

DVMS Assurance-Now™ Design Workshop

Purpose:

This workshop teaches practitioners how to assess, design, implement, operationalize, and continually innovate a DVMS program. The workshop moves the organization from planning to designing and deploying a Governance by Assurance™ Overlay System that continuously transforms fragmented operational data into trusted, audit-ready evidence, enabling leaders to provide continuous assurance that the business is fulfilling its strategic and operational intent for creating, protecting, and delivering trusted, resilient, and accountable digital value.

Key Outcomes:

• Conduct a DVMS capability assessment and map existing frameworks (e.g., ISO 27001, ITIL, COBIT, COSO) into the MVC Model.
• Design and document workflows, roles, and cultural reinforcements that embed assurance and accountability across the enterprise.
• Implement the DVMS FastTrack™ phased approach (Initiate → Basic Hygiene → Expand → Innovate) to deliver incremental and adaptive improvements.

DVMS Assurance-Now™ Innovation Workshop

Purpose:

The Innovation Workshop teaches practitioners how to use the DVMS Innovate capability to embed continual improvement and creative problem-solving into governance and assurance operations. This workshop positions innovation as a continuous capability within the DVMS, linking cultural curiosity, systemic learning, and digital value optimization into a cycle of ongoing improvement and resilience.

Key Outcomes:

• Apply innovation as a governance and assurance function, connecting strategic foresight with adaptive design.
• Explore incremental, sustaining, adaptive, and disruptive innovation as levers for cultural and structural change.
• Use QO–QM (Question–Outcome–Question Metric) techniques to measure cultural, operational, and resilience outcomes.
• Foster a learning organization that integrates innovation, assurance, and accountability into its operating DNA.
