Topic: IT Governance
Subbu Murthy started by defining IT Governance as a subset of
corporate governance, focused on IT, necessitated partly because of initiatives
like Sarbanes–Oxley. From a CIO ‘s point
of view, the scope involves all of IT so that everything IT does helps the
company achieve its objectives. This
includes services requests and new project requests, because of business
changes, technology changes, regulatory changes and new ideas for creating
value. One thing for certain – there is
always more work than available $ or resources.
So the goal of IT Governance is to make sure that IT $ and time are
spent on the right projects, at the right time.
CIO’s are faced with business as usual (service requests), the need to
do more with less, and the need to increase business revenues. Big company CIOs cope with this differently
from S/M CIOs – see Subbu’s slides 8-11.
On demand CIO services are gaining traction – slides 12/13. Subbu’s slides cover a governance framework,
a maturity framework, and the need for an integrated solution. They are well worth reading and prompted a
lively discussion. His slides are at: http://www.slideshare.net/occio .
Thank you, Subbu, for
a very interesting presentation.
