Governance and management are distinct concepts. Governance refers to the oversight, direction, and control of an enterprise, while management involves the day-to-day operations and decision-making within an enterprise. In most cases, the responsibility for governance of an enterprise typically falls under the purview of the board of directors, as they are responsible for setting the strategic direction, policies, and overall performance of the organization. Executive management, on the other hand, is responsible for the operational management of the enterprise, implementing the direction set by the board, and ensuring the organization's goals are achieved effectively and efficiently. The project management office (PMO) is a specialized function within an organization that typically focuses on overseeing and managing projects, but it is not responsible for the overall governance of the enterprise.
