# Exercise: Governance Implementation Planning

Organizations can plan governance implementation or improvement using the following steps:

- Assess current governance maturity using the maturity model
- Define target state based on organizational needs and constraints
- Identify key stakeholders affected by governance changes
- Analyze potential sources of resistance and develop mitigation strategies
- Develop an implementation roadmap with phased improvements
- Establish success metrics to track implementation progress

This planning process helps organizations develop realistic governance improvement plans that address both technical and organizational factors.
