IT governance is a board-led management framework - not a software 'solution' or a single, proprietary framework - for making IT an integrated, value-adding part of the business. This book assesses the strengths and weaknesses - in the context of competitiveness, corporate governance demands and regulatory requirements - of current frameworks (including COSO, CoBIT, ITIL, ISO 15000, ISO17799, AS 8015, GAISP). It proposes an integrated IT governance model that pulls together the key components of these frameworks into a single integrated model that overcomes the limitations of each and creates a comprehensive tool that is truly capable of generating long term business value. This book contains a substantial chapter on the role of the CIO and an optimum management structure (including CKO, CTO, CISO, etc) for the IT department that brings together all the key roles and responsibilities.
It also looks at essential tools such as the IT balanced scorecard and the Baldridge criteria, capability maturity models (including CMMI and OPM3), the Zachman Framework for enterprise architecture, project governance (including portfolio management, OPM3 and agile project management methodologies), operational risk and risk management frameworks such as Basel 2 and the Treadway Commission's ERM, financial concepts in the IT environment such as ROI and TCO, IT performance optimisation, IT audit and so much more. Aimed squarely at IT governance practitioners (including board members, owners, directors, partners, senior executives, IT managers, governance practioners, professional advisers, project managers, process owners, and intelligent people in public and private sector organizations everywhere) - "IT Governance Today" is a comprehensive state of the art snapshot of IT governance in the corporate world today. This is the one book the 21st century governance professional can't afford to be without.
