IT GOVERNANCE

“IT governance is the responsibility of the board of directors and executive management. It is an integral part of enterprise governance and consists of the leadership and organisational structures and processes that ensure that the organisation’s IT sustains and extends the organisation’s strategies and objectives”.

IT Governance is increasingly becoming an important issue for all forward thinking organisations, as IT Governance addresses both the need to deliver business value, with the need to effectively manage risk. Good IT Governance stands at the very centre of an organisation, allowing the organisation to fully exploit its investment in IT to the best effect for the business, but in a well managed, appropriately controlled manner, which is right for the specific organisation’s needs and culture. There are 4 key questions senior management need to ask themselves:

• Are we doing the right things?
• Are we doing them the right way?
• Are we getting them done well?
• Are we getting the benefits?
