In this IT governance program Hear firsthand about the challenges, issues and rewards of implementing an IT Governance program, using an on-the-ground case study approach.
Why Should You Attend:
IT governance means different things to different people. To many, including regulators and auditors, IT governance is synonymous with compliance, yet business executives want more than regulatory compliance from IT Governance. They want to see accountability and clear decision rights over IT, they want measurable value created from their IT investments, they want to avoid being broadsided by unperceived IT risks, they want cost-effective IT security and they want IT to link and contribute to the organization’s strategy and performance drivers. A tall order indeed!
