IT Governance

This course explains how good IT Governance can help align IT strategies to business strategies. It does this by discussing IT Governance at two levels: Governance of IT, and Governance within IT. Governance of IT captures what business units need from IT and how can such requirements be formally discussed in non-technical terms. Governance within IT, while internal to the IT department, captures those non-technical requirements and translates them into clear IT management objectives. Topics covered in the course include, but are not limited to, the main objectives of IT Governance, potential risks that may prevent organizations from achieving those objectives, and processes and other controls that mitigate these risks. Participants will also learn how to facilitate changes within the organization in order to implement the necessary IT Governance mechanisms to ensure that the correct IT objectives, which are aligned to business objectives, are achieved. PrerequisitesNone — open to managers at all levels
