IT Governance - is it adequate in your organisation?

How much do you know about IT in your organisation? Is it enough to not only satisfy your fiduciary responsibilities but also your responsibilities as a business leader for driving value and strategy in your organisation?

For many directors and senior management this is not as straightforward a question as you might expect. Yet most companies have a significant dependence on IT and spend an increasing sum of money on it each year.

Do you wonder if you are truly getting value from your IT investment? It is meant to provide competitive advantage for many organisations, yet if not used effectively it can lead to business losses, reputational damage and a significantly weakened competitive position.

To help answer this question, fill out this one-page questionnaire to see how much you know or do not know.

If you answer – NO - to most of the questions, then IT is not getting enough attention in the boardroom and/or at the senior management level in your organisation.

Let us help you establish an IT governance and management framework (or perhaps review your existing framework) to help you know and understand more about how this critical corporate asset can help leverage success in your organisation.

IT Management Framework Tips...

A good IT management framework means good processes are in place thus avoiding the "re-inventing the wheel" syndrome which helps reduce risks and errors and improve quality.
