IT Governance continues to be high on the agenda within many organizations, as Corporate Governance increasingly realizes that IT touches every area of the organization and is an essential enabler of future business opportunities.
Various IT Governance definitions exist within the industry, but they all share the same common goal of establishing a structure of relationships and processes to ensure that:
- IT aligns with the business strategy.
- IT risks and opportunities are managed.
- IT delivers value.
There is no single correct implementation methodology or fixed solution for effective IT Governance. The solution will be dictated by organization type and culture, and on the drivers for governance. Although simply definable at a high level, the practicalities of implementing IT Governance are broad and encompass many disciplines within the organization including IT Strategy, Risk Management, IT Service Management and Compliance Management to name but a few. This presents a significant challenge for companies seeking to identify a starting point for their IT Governance initiative.
