Editor's Notes

  1. (*) IT Governance on One page.- Companies with effective IT governance have profits that are 20% higher than other companies pursuing similar strategies. One explanation for this differential is that IT governance helps companies align their IT investments with their business priorities.
  2. “IT governance is the set of processes that specify decision rights and accountability to encourage desirable behavior in the use of IT.Effective IT governance encourages and leverages the ingenuity of all the enterprise&apos;s people in using IT, not just the leaders, while ensuring compliance with the enterprise&apos;s overall vision and principles” (Source: Weill, P.)At its core, governance is about alignment and value. For IT governance, we want to align the strategies, goals and objectives of IT with those of the enterprise to ensure that IT effectively supports and drives the entity.Number of workers is diff in countries: German = 255, 200, 100.
