Webinar Recap: The Governance Framework That Turned IT Roadmaps Into Reality
Here's the problem most municipal IT leaders face
Your roadmap is solid. Your team is talented. Your executives want progress. But somewhere between strategy and execution, momentum gets lost. Priorities shift. Projects slip. By mid-year, you're managing reactive work instead of executing the plan you committed to.
The City of Greater Sudbury solved this.
They manage 48 project ideas every single year. They juggle 15 active projects at any given time. They run five concurrent technology programs. And they've executed on essentially everything they put on their roadmap. Foundational systems deployed. Business applications revamped. Enterprise architecture rebuilt. Strategy became reality.
The difference wasn't more resources or bigger budgets. It was governance.
What You'll Learn by Watching This Webinar
How to Build a Governance Model That Actually Works for Your Organization
Peter Taylor walks through how Sudbury built a governance framework from scratch, starting with what was already working in their organization and adding the missing pieces. You'll learn how to design governance that fits your culture and constraints, not impose something that feels foreign to how your teams operate.
The Specific Structure That Enables 15+ Active Projects to Move Forward
Discover how Sudbury created an IT Governance Team with clear delegation authority that works in concert with existing city structures. See the exact framework they use to manage competing priorities and keep decisions moving forward without creating bottlenecks.
How to Move From Firefighting to Strategy
Watch how Sudbury transitioned from managing foundational system implementations to running enterprise programs that solve actual business problems. Learn the phases of this evolution and what needs to be in place before you can make this shift in your own organization.
The Role of Cross-Functional Teams in Executing Complex Initiatives
Understand how Sudbury involved the right people in designing governance and process improvements. See how building investment through participation creates better outcomes and stronger execution across your organization.
What Comes Next on the Innovation Roadmap
Hear directly from Peter Taylor about the challenges Sudbury is tackling now that they've built reliable execution into their model. This forward-looking perspective helps you anticipate what you'll face once you solve your current bottlenecks.
Why This Matters Right Now
If you're in IT leadership at a municipality or any complex organization, you know that strategy without execution is just a document. You also know that adding process can either unlock progress or create paralysis.
Sudbury proves that the right governance framework does the former. It creates alignment. It makes priorities visible. It enables teams to move with confidence because everyone understands how decisions get made and what the actual priorities are.
This is a real case study from a real organization managing real complexity, not a theoretical framework or consultant-speak.
