3. Orchestrate Design Decision Governance

• Ensure EDA and BDA decisions are final, traceable, and auditable, linked clearly to enterprise objectives and S/4 design principles.
• Maintain the Design Decision Register, tracking approvals, conditions, and follow-up actions.
• Serve as secretariat and quality keeper for EDA and BDA, ensuring submissions are:
  • Properly framed.
  • Pre-aligned with suppliers.
  • Supported by impacts, implications, recommendations.
• Set and enforce clear submission standards, templates, and pre-read expectations, ensuring forums focus on decisions (not discovery).
• Communicate outcomes effectively, including escalations requiring leadership intervention or external governance. Escalations must be design-led and evidence-based, not delivery-driven.

4. Design Coherence

• Ensure the default position is “fit to standard”; any deviations (e.g., process exceptions) must be explicitly justified, assessed for enterprise impact, and approved.
• Challenge proposals adding unnecessary debt or legacy burden, escalating to EDA when enterprise impact exists.
• Confirm design readiness prior to stage gates, verifying business and technical maturity and alignment.
• Surface unresolved design risks/dependencies explicitly to governance rather than implicit acceptance.

5. Design Interlock & Interdependent Programmes

• Establish and actively lead cross-programme design working groups to resolve interdependencies before escalation.
• Partner with workstreams and adjacent programmes to clarify:
  • Definition of “done.”
  • Delivery dates.
  • Classifier dependencies across process, tech, data, security, and operational model dimensions.
• Assess potential local optimisation vs. enterprise-wide consequences requiring broader program scope.
• Ensure decisions from adjacent programmes are routed through correct design authorities tied to scope and impact.
• Maintain end-to-end traceability of design dependencies from identification through decision, conditions, and resolution.

6. Stakeholder Engagement

• Build strong relationships with senior stakeholders to align, accelerate decisions, and ensure consistency.
• Educate programme teams on design governance principles, promoting process standardisation and simplification.
• An advisor to senior leaders, translating complex design issues into clear binary trade-offs for decision-making.
• Adhere to escalation discipline even under delivery pressure.

Experience & Required Competencies

• Deep mastery of design-authority models across business & technology design governance and enterprise-level design governance.
• Proven track record in leading design governance across multi-national, complex corporate transformations.
• Expertise in:
  • Classifying design-led interdependencies.
  • Identifying implicit dependencies and differentiating delivery vs. design dependencies.
  • Recognising when interdependencies escalate from programme-level to enterprise concern.
• Strong understanding of SAP S/4HANA principles, including:
  • Fit-to-standard, clean core, controlled exception management.
• Ability to challenge proposals by business or system integrators posing unnecessary technical debt or legacy carry-over.
• Clear decision-framing ability—translating complex design choices to considerate trade-offs, ensuring executive confidence.
• Relationship management: Operates efficiently across stakeholders, from Executives to Functional Leads, Process Owners, Architecture, Data, Technology, and PMOs.
• Defensive advocacy: Influences via authority of judgment and evidence while upholding strong escalation disciplines.
