Appeal for help
What's the problem?
How would we do it?
Once we have a team, we'd, together, agree priorities. We'd then produce a short-term, medium-term, and long-term plan of what needs to be done.
The short-term aim would be to remove out-of-date material, improve current citations, and provide some coherent linkage through categories.
The medium term aim would be to have a good set of articles that would help introduce somebody to the field, but, also, be a reliable source of information for a practitioner to look up details.
Caution
This is not an advertising initiative. Wikipedia is not there as an advertising medium. It's there to inform. So articles need to be objective, and independent, as far as possible.
Are you interested in helping?
If so, wonderful! Even if you haven't much time, just a few minutes a day, of well-directed work, can make a bit difference.

Definition of Service Governance
Service Governance describes the means of achieving effective corporate and portfolio governance, within the ‘comply or explain’ framework, by designing the service portfolio as the overarching management system that monitors & controls corporate financial performance & value delivery.
