Jan 2010 - Business is complex and dynamic, and requires agility to stay competitive. Market leadership requires the organization is quick to respond to changing conditions - to pause means loss. Governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) processes often work against business agility.

The lackof a common process and technology architecture comes at a significant management cost.
