1. CONFIDENTIAL – DO NOT DISTRIBUTE
Governance Process Team –
Implementation Launch
Author: Pamela Rosen
Date: October 25, 2005
OVERVIEW
Background
The impetus for the formation of the Governance Process Team was the BEOE initiative to improve and enhance the governance process
of IT issues and communications thereof in a timely and orderly fashion across the Enterprise. An interim team has been in place since
January, 2005, and has created the charter for the final Governance Process Team.
Purpose
The purpose of the Governance Process Team is to serve as a single point of contact for governance issue resolution and escalation,
allowing for collaboration across the RAC/PAC Enterprise. The Governance Process team is also responsible for timely and clear
communication of governance enhancements as they are made.
Timeline
The initial phase of the formation of the Advisory Committee and Task Force Members is expected to continue through Q4, 2005. The
formal announcement about the Governance Process Team and the new processes is expected in early Q1, 2006, with ongoing
communication from there to ensure that it continues and is integrated into KP-IT as a regularly followed process.
COMMUNICATION GOALS
Goals
PAC/RAC Members and Support teams understand the procedure enhancements and how the Governance Process Team works
Prospective members of the Task Force and the Advisory Committee understand their commitment, roles and responsibilities
First burst of awareness is awareness of project, second part of Phase 1 is “Road Show”—1-1 meetings with RIOs, IOs, and key members
of PACs and RACs for advisory committee enrollment.

Scope
The Governance Process Team’s scope is within the KPPG IT Subgroup, and works under its auspices. Affected groups are the PACs,
RACs, the IT Subgroup and KP-IT employees, managers and senior leadership.
Issues
There is some concern that these processes will not “stick” without some kind or reinforcement and the governance processes will revert.
COMMUNICATION FOCUS
Key Messages
Phase 1 Q4, 2005
The communications for the Governance Process Team (GPT) are divided by audience and timeline. The initial phase of the
communications will be focused on recruitment of Advisory Committee Members. For this phase we will provide information for senior
stakeholders to bring in appropriate key candidates. These messages are:
We are beginning the implementation of the final iteration of the Governance Process Team. The GPT serves as the
administrative arm of the KPPG IT Subgroup.
This is a new process that will serve as the single point of contact for governance and as a collaborative forum for cross
PAC/RAC solution development. The GPT’s objectives are:
o Facilitation of cross-PAC/RAC governance enhancements
o Enablement of PAC/RAC collaboration and issue resolution
o Communication of enterprise-wide governance policies, decisions, activities and outcomes
An interim team has been in place for eight months, and will relinquish their seats to the final Governance Process Team
members have been selected.
The first version of governance enhancements will be created as a template by the interim team for the final team to use as
they move forward.

Notes:
The advisory committee has yet to be finalized. Hal Wolf will be on it but others will be joining throughout December. Some method of
announcing new members needs to be established in Phase 2.
Cameron is unsure about when a centralized location for initiative suggestions and a repository for all submissions and their results will be
available.
Still unclear is how decisions and new governance improvements will be communicated, and to whom these messages should be delivered
Timing for turnaround from submission to decision to implementation is not formed and cannot be communicated until details are worked
out.
