COURSE OBJECTIVE
IT governance is specifying the decision rights, the accountability and authority framework for important IT decisions, with the objective of encouraging ‘desirable behaviours’ in the use of IT. Top performing organisations succeed in obtaining value from IT by adopting and implementing effective IT governance practices to support their strategies and business processes. With huge growths in IT spending and strong evidence of significant bottom-line improvements due to better IT decisions, it is time to take IT governance and its overall effectiveness seriously.
This course includes special sharing sessions by prominent CIOs and senior managers who have successfully implemented IT governance practices in their organisations, thereby bringing the concepts to life with examples of hands-on IT governance experiences.
