Many top performing companies question if they are getting enough value from their information technology investments. Some of the concerns are: • It is unclear if Business Strategy and IT Strategy are aligned • Senior management senses low value from IT investments • Projects & resources are not consistently aligned with business strategies • There is a need to reduce costs and get more done with fewer resources • Projects run late or over budget or are cancelled This briefing will provide delegates with an understanding of how effective IT Governance can address these issues. It will introduce the different governance structures and processes and will explain the principles behind each and introduce the recognised best practices. The briefing will show how IT can be aligned with business functions and will explain how business managers can retain control of IT projects. It will show how organisations can improve their IT performance through clarity and improved decision making.
