Weak governance shows up as operational friction: blocked orders, payment failures, reporting distrust, migration cleanup, and repeated support handling.

Where this fits
Governance failure modes explain why the same data defect keeps returning after individual records are repaired.
Common issues
No clear owner for creation, extension, blocking, change approval, or retirement of master data.
Rules exist in documentation but not in workflow, validation, monitoring, or accountability.
Migration cleanup is treated as a one-time project instead of a continuous quality obligation.
Diagnostic questions
Who owns the object and who approves change?
Which quality rule failed, and was it preventable at entry time?
Is this a single bad record or a pattern across objects, plants, company codes, or suppliers?
