The Governance Playbook

Most enterprises have mapped skills across their workforce. Almost none can trust that data when it matters.

In our 2026 research of 227 senior HR leaders, 92.6% are planning governance restructuring within the next 12–18 months because they lack control.

This playbook shows leaders exactly where governance breaks down and what to do about it.

What you'll walk away with:

• A clear picture of why skills coverage alone doesn't equal maturity — and what to measure instead
• An understanding of how ownership gaps form across HR, Total Rewards, HRIT, and Talent Acquisition
• A proven infrastructure model that keeps job data consistent without ongoing effort
• Six executive moves with concrete decisions, implementation steps, and signals that it's working
