For organizational investment in IT to deliver full value, it is recognized that IT has to be fully aligned to business strategies and direction, key risks have to be identified and controlled, and legislative and regulatory compliance demonstrated. IT Governance covers this and more, and in light of recent corporate failures, scandals and failure, enjoys a higher profile today than ever before.

This course covers the culture, organization, policies and practices that provide this kind of oversight and transparency of IT – IT Governance is part of a wider Corporate Governance activity but with its own specific focus. The benefits of good IT risk management, oversight and clear communication not only reduce the cost and damage caused by IT failures – but also engenders greater trust, teamwork and confidence in the use of IT itself and the people trusted with IT services.
