A million management consultants scream out. I'm 100% with the aim here, but one challenge around calling business change "governance" is that in my experience this tends to be a finance/IT type term that doesn't always produce positive behaviours (i.e. the Sales and Marketing folks tend to hate it and the Production guys really understand it, but in a completely different way to what you want).
I've tended to split this governance from the policy governance and just called the former the "business change stream" its right to say its a form of governance but I'm not sure telling everyone that helps.
