We can say that IT Governance is just a puzzle whitin the Corporate Governance.
But how important part is it? And how to do it right?
What are the factors influencing the need to focus on raising the IT Governance maturity?
During our recent diagnostic project we were asked to identify the opportunities for improvements in an organization that is continuously missing the deadlines in executing tasks supporting strategic objectives. As such strategy execution was at least from the timeline perspective at risk.
Key challenges we identified were:
- Strong influence of external environment on priorities.
- Individual plans and tasks not connected with the strategic plans and projects.
- Poor visibility or not reliable indicators (performance, risk …).
- Obsolete and not fit for purpose: service, task and project management platforms.
- Low morale, burnout signs within IT and some other functions.
- Bad scores in measuring organizational climate, no systematic focus on organizational culture.
- IT Strategy not formalized.
- Mission and Vison of the IT teams not clear.
It was clear that the organization was falling behind because key success factors that would allow the organization to follow its strategic objectives in a more sustainable way where not there.
How to fix this?
Simple answer – do the IT Governance right.
There is no recipe to fix it once for all. This is a journey lasting as long as organization is alive.
