GDI for Execution & Delivery

Forward governance insight as control is tested

Execution & Delivery Governance Decision Intelligence

Governing delivery alignment to protect owner accountability

Execution and delivery are where approved intent, design decisions and contractual commitments are translated into physical progress. This stage is characterised by increasing irreversibility, compressed decision windows and rapidly escalating owner exposure. Governance Decision Intelligence (GDI) provides owner-side governance insight during execution by maintaining forward visibility over whether delivery conditions, behaviours and decision pathways remain consistent with approved capital, cost, schedule and control expectations as execution progresses. Operating above delivery teams, contractors and operators, GDI enables early recognition of emerging loss of alignment, authority or control while corrective action remains feasible and accountability remains clear.

Purpose and Intent

To provide forward governance insight into whether execution and delivery conditions are likely to remain aligned with approved intent and formal commitments, enabling owners to govern exposure, preserve control and intervene proportionately before remaining options narrow.

Focus and Scope

Governance Decision Intelligence (GDI) focuses on the relationship between delivery behaviour and approved commitments, including:

  • capital expenditure progression relative to approved profiles
  • schedule performance, recovery capacity and decision timing
  • productivity assumptions and delivery sequencing logic
  • accumulation of change and latency in decision pathways
  • interface complexity and coordination pressure across parties
  • alignment between delivery actions, approved authority and decision rights

The focus is not on managing delivery activities.
It is on whether execution conditions and behaviours remain aligned with approved intent and capable of sustaining owner control as exposure escalates.
