Business Integrated Governance (BIG) is an integrated approach to decision making – from purpose and strategy through to day-to-day operations.
BIG enables operational governance across everything the organisation does – strategy, business-as-usual, value creation and change. It is about joined-up decision making, not compliance gone mad. See here for What is BIG.
Stakeholders
Site visitors are welcome to explore the BIG Body of Knowledge, along with supplementary material, exams, blogs, and partner information. If you’re coming with a specific role or challenge, we can point you in the right direction.
If you’re focused on strategy, governance, change delivery, or information and data, you’ll find tailored content, ways to connect, and partners who can help with consulting, training, and technology. Choose a path that fits your needs – or simply browse.
Materials
The BIG CIC has extensive content for people to use in a Knowledge Base which includes all of our outputs including
-
the BIG CIC Knowledge Outline which assists senior sponsors and change programmes to enhance organisational performance and agility by addressing key challenges in strategy delivery.
-
Resources not yet in the BoK, for the public, members, full members and Partners.
A simple introduction can be found in our YouTube channel.
Behind the outline is the BIG Body of Knowledge which provides depth: rational for doing this, stakeholder perspectives, Key Concepts, Principles, Solution Component definitions, a roadmap to work towards it, and linkages to professional bodies who’s capabilities need to be integrated to make it all work.
In addition to the core knowledge is Blog & Theme content in our Blogs, perspectives from key stakeholder perspectives, and the content we created for our Conference.
Members, Accreditation and Partners
The website also provides links to Membership Options – from simple free Membership to access basic contents, to FULL Membership to access richer resources and to also support the CIC financially. Exams and Exam Passes, an introduction to Partnering (commercial partners, sponsorship / Founding Sponsors and donors)
Background
The BIG initiative began in 2018 and has garnered contributions from more than a hundred professionals across strategy, governance, change management, IT, finance, and project management.
The BIG Community Interest Company (CIC) now has over a thousand CIC Members, helpers, LinkedIn Group members and friends. The BIG CIC now also has a Community Forum to enable collaboration, networking and threaded discussion.
As the CIC is not for profit, we encourage our visitors, Members and beneficiaries to make a small donation to enable the CIC to continue to develop and operate.
