Designing IT governance

IT is increasingly becoming a business asset that is regarded as an enabler for strategic business development. It is moving away from its purely “functional” role, reaching all levels and functions of the organisation. But how can you govern IT and perceive it as a strategic business asset in companies still lacking clarity between IT value and business goals? 

You can benefit from working strategically and innovatively with IT development by involving different organisational functions and levels in decision-making and design. IT governance for improved business value covers the areas of IT strategy and principles, architecture, business engagement, demand management and IT sourcing.

Enabling you to work strategically and innovatively with IT development

At Implement, we believe that strategic IT governance is a discipline that enables companies to work strategically and innovatively with IT development.

By involving various organisational functions and levels in combination with decision-making and design, your IT organisation can become a true business partner of the company. You must design and fully integrate your business engagement models with corporate planning and strategy development in order to maximise the value from IT.

We can support you in designing and implementing a structure where your company can govern and manage IT as a strategic business asset and at the same time build an operating model where you manage IT as a business portfolio. As examples, we have supported several clients in aligning business and IT with different roles and responsibilities, designing IT prioritisation boards and IT development boards.
The result? Your IT organisation starts playing an active role – often as a leader – in business transformation and innovation.
