These goals are critical for ensuring that the governance system design is aligned with the enterprise's overall strategy, and for ensuring that the design focuses on areas of highest priority for the enterprise. Prioritizing enterprise goals helps ensure that the governance system design is tailored to meet the specific needs and priorities of the enterprise.
