Systems, Standards & Frameworks
The Infrastructure of Institutional Governance.
ARISMAN has developed a complete stack of proprietary frameworks that define how organisations are structured, governed, and operated. These are not consulting templates — they are codified systems, each built to institutional grade and available for licensing by qualifying organisations.
The ARISMAN Governance Stack
Layer 1 — Structural Foundation
| OBS | Organisational Breakdown Structure | Seven-level hierarchical mapping of every function, unit, and role within an institution — from governing body to individual position. |
| AMT | Authority & Management Table | Defines the scope of decision-making authority across all structural levels, linking roles to responsibilities and approval thresholds. |
Layer 2 — Constitutional Layer
| IWC | Institutional Workflow Constitution | The governing document of all workflows within the institution — classifies, sequences, and constitutionalises every operational process. |
| IRCA | Institutional Registry & Control Architecture | The records and audit backbone of governance — establishes control over institutional memory, document authority, and compliance traceability. |
| SGA | Sovereign Gate Architecture | Defines the decision gates, escalation paths, and approval sovereignty across all critical institutional processes. |
Layer 3 — Operational Engine
| WCDM | Workflow Classification & Decision Matrix | Classifies all institutional workflows by type, frequency, risk, and ownership — enabling consistent process governance across the organisation. |
| WOMS | Workflow Operational Mapping System | Maps every workflow end-to-end: inputs, steps, handoffs, outputs, and performance indicators — creating operational clarity at institutional scale. |
| ORA | Operational Runtime Architecture | The live operational layer — defines how the institution runs day-to-day, including monitoring, reporting lines, and runtime decision protocols. |
| OWSP | Operational Workflow Simulation Pack | A scenario-based testing and simulation toolkit for validating institutional workflows before deployment or during structural transitions. |
Layer 4 — Compliance & Extension Modules
| DAF | Delegation & Authority Framework | Formalises all delegated authority relationships, substitution rules, and accountability chains across the governance structure. |
| AIG | Audit & Inspection Guide | Provides the methodology and instruments for internal governance audits, structural inspections, and compliance verification exercises. |
| EGS | Executive Governance Standards | Sets the performance and conduct standards for executive roles within the governance framework, aligned to international best practice. |
| GEF | Governance Evaluation Framework | A structured tool for periodic assessment of governance maturity, identifying gaps and tracking institutional improvement over time. |
