Digital Transformation creates opportunity but it also creates new questions of accountability, risk, compliance, and responsible decision-making.
Integrity & Accountability in Digital Transformation is a practical guide to applying Governance, Risk, Compliance & Ethics (GRC&E) throughout the Digital Transformation journey.
Rather than treating GRC&E as separate administrative or control functions, Ali Shaker shows how they can work together to enable transformation while maintaining appropriate accountability, control, compliance, and ethical responsibility. The book positions GRC&E as a cross-cutting discipline across People, Process, Data, and Technology and throughout the transformation lifecycle.
Inside the book, you will learn how to:
• Establish clear governance, accountability, decision authority, and escalation
• Identify, assess, treat, escalate, and monitor Digital Transformation risks
• Integrate compliance requirements into transformation initiatives from the beginning
• Address ethical considerations involving data, AI, automation, fairness, transparency, and human oversight
• Apply GRC&E across the Four Pillars of Digital Transformation
• Integrate GRC&E throughout the Six-Phase Digital Transformation Roadmap
• Use practical tools, templates, and artifacts that can be adapted to different organizations and initiatives
• Bring Governance, Risk, Compliance, and Ethics together through an integrated stage-gate approach
The book includes practical artifacts covering Digital Transformation governance, RACI, decision and escalation, risk management, compliance, ethics, monitoring, and independent assurance, designed to help professionals move from principles to practical application.
Written for leaders, transformation professionals, consultants, project and program managers, technology professionals, and Governance, Risk & Compliance practitioners, this book provides a practical approach that can be adapted according to the scale, complexity, risk, and business impact of the transformation.
The objective is not to create more bureaucracy. It is to provide enough structure to enable organizations to transform with confidence, control, accountability, and integrity.
