Community & Events

Standards become real when practitioners test them, critique them, and share what works. Our community structure is designed to support both rigorous standards development and practical adoption.

Chapters & local groups

Chapters host meetups, reading groups, and practitioner roundtables. Early chapters can be virtual-first to support global participation.

  • Monthly “Governance Intelligence Roundtable”
  • Quarterly “UFDCM Assessment Clinic”
  • Regional meetups (when available)

Events

Governance Intelligence Summit

An annual gathering for standards updates, benchmarks, and practitioner-led sessions.

Webinars

Monthly webinars exploring maturity measurement, drift, trust, and culture-to-governance alignment.

Partner sessions

Co-hosted sessions with standards and practitioner communities (vendor-neutral).

Working groups

Current working group tracks:

  • UFDCM Metrics & Benchmarking — definitions, measurement guidance, and maturity indicators.
  • GIP Taxonomy — platform capabilities, reference architecture, interoperability guidance.
  • Governance Intelligence Ontology — shared vocabulary, mappings, and release versions.
  • Cultural Congruence — espoused vs. enacted values, drift patterns, and governance risk signals.
