Examine how to structure governance, roles, and decision rights from the outset so accountability is built into the program rather than imposed after problems surface. 

Key Learning Objectives: 

• Define the governance structure and steering model appropriate for the scale and complexity of your SAP S/4HANA program 
• Assign ownership across workstreams in a way that is specific, documented, and enforceable rather than broadly shared 
• Establish escalation paths that surface issues at the right level without creating bottlenecks or bypassing program leadership 
• Align business and IT ownership so functional decisions are made by the right stakeholders at the right time
