Improve Value & Mitigate Risk through IT Governance

Our Advice

Critical Insight

• The business relies on IT to enable day-to-day operations and information access, yet less than 50% of senior management is involved in IT decision-making. IT stands alone when it comes to delivering IT value and decisions.
• Four major governance process areas (IT Investment, Project, Service Delivery, and Risk Management) are key to aligning IT decision-making, value delivery, and business strategy. Improving governance of these processes creates a culture of joint business and IT accountability for IT decision-making.
• IT leaders know improvements are needed, but they require tools and advice that will help them make the needed enhancements to critical decision-making processes.

Impact and Result

• Assess the organization’s ability to govern the four key process areas. IT leaders can determine where gaps exist, identify appropriate actions, create a roadmap for improving IT governance, and influence business decision makers to participate in IT governance.
• Identify the areas of greatest concern, as well as which process areas will benefit from better governance.
• Identify current governance structures for the four key governance process areas. Highlight gaps that exist between how IT decisions are made now and how they should be made.
• Create a roadmap to make the process improvements that will improve governance, provide better alignment with business goals, and enable better IT value delivery.
