Make Your IT Governance Adaptable
Governance isn’t optional, so keep it simple and make it flexible.
Book This Workshop
Governance that doesn’t fit your organization, or that has become misaligned, will derail your ability to be successful.
- Decisions are made with poor information or in the wrong places.
- Leadership is not acting in alignment with organizational needs and objectives or is modeling the right behavior.
- There is a lack of transparency in why things are done.
- IT finds itself unable to properly optimize IT spend and use of resources.
- Governance constrains speed and the ability to provide customer value.
Adaptable governance ensures value creation and business success and shifts as your organizational context changes. It:
- Aligns IT spend and initiatives to organizational needs.
- Moves at the speed the organization requires.
- Empowers and embeds decisions and activities.
- Provides the right level of data and knowledge to be effective.
- Accounts for risk and provides deep risk information.
- Adjusts for new work practices and organizational requirement.
- Adapts for your culture.
- Ensures that the value of governance and its true role is understood.
