Understanding IT Governance

IT Governance is focused on the leadership, structures and processes that ensure that an organisation's information technology sustains and extends the overall organisation's strategies and objectives.

This workshop looks at IT Governance from the perspective of both IT Professionals and Directors.

The role of the Board and CEO is to provide strategic direction, ensure that objectives are achieved, ascertain that risks are managed appropriately and verifying that the enterprise's resources are used responsibly. The Board and senior executives therefore have a responsibility for IT Governance as part of Corporate Governance. People, systems and processes assist an organisation to meet these responsibilities.
