IT Governance: A Pocket Guide

by Alan Calder

This pocket guide in the Practical IT Governance series is designed to provide the reader with a basic understanding of how an organization's Information Technology supports and enables the achievement of its strategies and objectives. IT Governance recognizes that Information and Information Technology is at the heart of the modern economy - and at the heart of the modern business. It is a critical component of corporate governance and this pocket guide provides an introduction on how to approach this complex subject. This pocket guide describes the drivers for IT governance; why it matters; the relationship between IT governance, risk management, information risk, project governance and compliance risk; lists the symptoms of inadequate IT governance and the benefits that can be won by implementing an IT governance framework, and describes - in principle - how to go about doing this. This is a good overview of this important subject from the author of IT Guidelines for Directors.
