The governance system design involves tailoring the COBIT 2019 components such as principles, enablers, goals, processes, practices, roles, structures, metrics etc., according to the enterprise's context and needs. The governance system design also involves considering various design factors such as enterprise strategy archetype; enterprise goals; IT-related goals; risk profile; IT deployment; threat landscape; compliance requirement; operating environment; size of enterprise; culture; stakeholders; etc., that influence how an enterprise designs and implements its governance system using COBIT 2019. By resolving conflicting priorities in order to finalize the governance system design, the management of the IT function ensures that the governance system is appropriate for the enterprise's strategy objectives performance risks issues opportunities etc., that it delivers value and benefits to the enterprise and its stakeholders that it aligns with the relevant standards guidelines regulations best practices etc., that it meets stakeholder requirements and expectations etc34 References: 3: COBIT 2019 Framework: Governance and Management Objectives: page 20-21 4: COBIT 2019 Design Guide: page 33-48
