Summary
This chapter provides a discussion of the important issue of Governance Risk and the various responsibilities for developing, approving and monitoring strategic risk. After discussing the various responsibilities for strategy development, the chapter lists the major activities in strategy development and finally identifies some of the major strategic governance risks that arise.
