IT Governance: improving IT performance; delivering business value

IT Governance is a critical topic for business leaders given the significant investment and central role IT plays in today's organisations. However, IT Governance is a much misunderstood subject and means different things to different people.

At Ernst & Young, we think it's time for organisations to put IT Governance on the agenda and treat it with the same strategic focus as you do for all of your Corporate Governance and control responsibilities. The stakes are too high to leave responsibility for IT Governance outside of senior management and the board – leaders need to have confidence that the business and IT priorities are aligned, the right investment choices are made, value is being realised and that strong oversight is in place. Most importantly, that value is being delivered from IT.
