IT Governance: Steering Technology for Business Success

IT Governance is the system of rules, practices, and processes that direct and control an organization's information technology resources. Its primary aim is to ensure that IT investments generate business value and that risks associated with IT are managed appropriately. Think of it as the leadership and organizational structures and processes that ensure IT sustains and extends the organization’s strategies and objectives. Effective IT governance helps organizations make better decisions about their technology, ensuring that IT efforts are aligned with overall business goals, resources are used efficiently, and performance is optimized.
