Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation and Infographic
A governance operating model is like a restaurant chain's playbook—if every location runs differently, chaos erupts! Define clear ownership, policies, workflows, and evidence collection so every team follows the same proven path. Consistency scales; chaos doesn't. Build it once, replicate everywhere!

Full Explanation
The correct answer is C. Defining ownership, policies, workflows, and evidence collection creates a repeatable governance operating model that scales across teams and projects. Option A is wrong because letting each team invent its own path leads to inconsistent controls, duplicated effort, and compliance gaps. Option B is dangerous; storing approvals in private messages destroys audit trails and makes evidence management impossible. Option D is naive; governance without structured controls is gambling, not risk management. IBM watsonx.governance is built on the principle that scalable governance requires intentional design of roles, policies, workflows, and evidence capture—once defined, this framework can be applied consistently across the entire organization.
