The document discusses IT governance, defining it as the processes that ensure effective and efficient use of IT to help an organization achieve its goals. IT governance is a responsibility of executives and the board of directors and consists of leadership, structures, and processes to ensure IT supports business strategies and objectives. Frameworks like COBIT provide structures to align IT strategy with business strategy through formal processes. The benefits of IT governance include transparency, accountability, improved ROI, risk management, and compliance. Governance focuses on strategic decisions while management handles tactical implementation.

Transformed IT function through managed services for a leading private equity...Mindtree Ltd.
Effective IT operations are critical to enterprises in the private equity industry. Suboptimal technology can lead to higher costs, reporting and compliance challenges, and poor execution of business strategy. Here is how Mindtree helped.
Businesses today are more dependent on technology than ever. And, more than ever, they're looking to IT for ways to improve employee productivity, customer service and innovation. The challenge is that in order to achieve results with technology, IT and the business have to work collaboratively.
IT needs to be able to develop the right relationships and communicate with different stakeholders from a business perspective - not a technical one. As a result, the transformation of the IT department has become a top-level priority for many leading organizations. At the same time, business leaders need to strengthen their business technology IQ and play a more significant role in the governance of IT.
Learning and development professional Michelle Moore fills you in on the skills and knowledge required to help IT and the business collaborate and perform in this new environment. She will also share industry best practices for making the transition.

With the rapid evolution of Information Technology (IT) applications, and practices across the organization, appropriate IT Governance (ITG) has become essential to an organization’s success. The use of IT has become pervasive in every facet of the organisations’ endeavours in supporting and evolving each aspect of the business. As IT is associated with risk and value opportunities, a comprehensive, high-level system is required in each organization to minimise the associated risks and optimize value. The fact that the IT value to be achieved due to effective IT governance is related to efficient and cost effective IT delivery, innovation and business impact. This presentation highlights the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) needed for the successful and effective implementation of ITG.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

• Corporate governance of information and communications technology
IT GOVERNANCE, RISK & COMPLIANCE
9. Why do we need IT Governance?
• Reliance of Technology,
• Fast Pace of Change in Technology,
• Failure of IT Projects,
• IT is the driver of competitive advantage,
• Making sure investments put in IT are Giving value and not wasted,
• Ensure the effective and efficient use of IT to achieve Company/Enterprise goals,
• For achieving alignment between IT and business,
• Ensuring that IT delivers value,
• Effective management of IT resources,
• Management and mitigation of IT risk,

IT GOVERNANCE, RISK & COMPLIANCE
10. Why do we need IT Governance?
• Widening gap between what IT think the business requires and what the business
thinks the IT is able to deliver.
• General lack of accountability and not enough shared ownership and clarity of
responsibilities for IT services and projects.
• A lot of spending on infrastructure that is not necessarily needed for business
IT GOVERNANCE, RISK & COMPLIANCE
11. What IT Governance IS NOT
Information Technology Governance should not be confused with IT management,
which is primarily concerned with making tactical decisions.
Think of governance as determining who is authorised and responsible for making
these related decisions.
It is not the implementation of the policy, but the oversight and creation of the
programme.
It is not the enforcing of the policy (IT management’s charter), but the
enactment/Performance of the policy.
In short, IT Governance focuses on the strategic, not the tactical.

16. Framework of IT governance
There are many IT governance frameworks that are used by organizations worldwide
and the most widely used framework is COBIT or the Control Objectives for
Information and Related Technology). This framework prescribes a set of 37 different
IT processes now 40 and the means of managing these processes through identifying
the inputs and outputs along with key process activities, performance measures, and
process objectives to ensure that the IT systems are indeed delivering business value.
The key reasons why organizations use the IT frameworks are to ensure that they use
the IT systems in an efficient and effective manner. Further, risk mitigation and
performance management are key business imperatives, which the organization must
follow so that there are no surprises for its operations and that the business
objectives are being met.
