How to implement IT Governance for effect? Read On!
An IT governance plan is not effective unless it is properly implemented.
Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all answer for implementing IT Governance in an organization. Every enterprise is different, and the approach needs to be tailored to fit the specific context. However, there are a few key success factors that are essential for any implementation initiative.
First and foremost, top executive leadership must provide direction and support on an ongoing basis. The initiative must also have visible commitment from key leaders throughout the organization.
Secondly, all parties need to be on board and understand the business and IT objectives. Communication and enablement of necessary changes must be effective in order to achieve success.
Finally, good practices and standards should be tailored to fit the unique context of the enterprise, and quick wins should be prioritized in order to demonstrate early success.
Management must identify challenges and imperatives to address them and then get early commitment and buy-in from key leadership executives. A business case should also be created that showcases the objectives and benefits of the IT governance policy.
