IT Governance is embedded within Enterprise Governance

Internal Environment– Value Statements : Core beliefs and philosophies that shape the organization’s vision

and mission– Guiding Principles : Durable statements that encapsulates the role IT will play and how

decisions will be driven in both business and IT organizations

Entrustment Framework– Accountability / authority framework across the organisation– Designated decision authorities : individuals or bodies– Organization constructs & functional interrelationships

Decision Model & Framework– Clear (transparent) assignment of decisions rights – Sequence of actions and decision path in decision processes

3 Key Questions for IT Governance

1. What decisions must be made ?

2. Who should take these decisions ?

3. How these decisions are made and monitored ?

MIT CISR Arrangement Matrix The Governance Arrangements Matrix is used to describe, analyze and communicate an organization’s

IT governance

The framework uses a set of political governance archetypes for five principle decision domains

The matrix also identifies the set of mechanisms used to implement the governance arrangements (eg. committees, approval processes, relationships and organizational structures)

Five Key IT Decisions

IT Principles High level statements about how IT is used in the business

IT Infrastructure Strategies

Strategies for the base foundation of budgeted-for-IT capability (both technical and human), shared throughout the firm as reliable services and centrally coordinated

IT Architecture An integrated set of technical choices to guide the organization in satisfying business needs

Business Application Needs

Business applications to be acquired or built.

IT Investment and Prioritization

Decisions about how much and where to invest to IT including project approvals and justification techniques

IT Governance Archetypes

Business Monarchy

“C” level executives as a group or individuals

IT Monarchy Individuals or groups of IT executives.

Feudal Business unit leaders, Key Process owners, or their delegates

IT Duopoly IT executives and one other group

Federal Shared by “C” level executives and one other business group

Anarchy Each individual user

Governance and Alignment…”Six IT Decisions Your IT People Shouldn’t Make,” HBR – Ross and Weill

1. How much should we spend on IT?

2. Which business processes should receive IT dollars?

3. Which IT capabilities need to be companywide?

4. How good do our IT services really need to be?

5. What security and privacy risks will we accept?

6. Whom do we blame if an IT initiative fails?

For each organization type there are different possible IT decision making mechanisms („archetypes“).

Program Management Office (PMO) types

Temporary PMO

– For achieving specific business benefits

– Decision of formation of PMO is taken based on size of the program (most economical for min 30 associates)

– Largely Administrative– PMO disbanded post program

retirement– E.g. ERP Rollout Program Office

Permanent PMO

– For continuous organizational improvement

– Decision is based on the criticality of the objectives

– Establishes the best practice framework and rolls out across the organization

– E.g. Corporate Program Office, Chairman’s Program Office, Office of the CIO (OCIO)

The Office of the CIO (OCIO)

OCIO is Permanent type of PMO

5 % of 2000 CIOs participating in Gartner’s Executive Program (EXP) have OCIO

OCIO acts as the mouth piece of centralized IT

Provides transparency of IT to business

Extremely important step towards Business – IT Alignment

Mostly popular in Governments & large distributed organizations

The US Departments of Commerce and Agricultural leverage the OCIO– Standardization of IT roles and responsibility execution– Processes application development to help desk support are developed and standardized – This consistency supports stronger and more accurate reporting

Strategy planning, lessons learned and financial IT performance are formally reviewed quarterly which is facilitated by the office of the CIO

“Top performing enterprises generate returns on their IT investments up to 40 percent greater than their competitors.”

they clarify business strategies and the role of IT in achieving them

they measure and manage the amount spent and value received

they assign accountability for changes and decisions required to benefit from IT capabilities

they become adept at sharing and reusing IT assets

- IT Governance, Peter Weill & Jeanne W. Ross, HBS Press

“Firms with above average IT governance combined with a specific business strategy (eg. customer intimacy) had >20% higher profits than firms pursuing the same strategy”

Why focus on IT Governance?

Source: 2005 MIT SeeIT/CISR survey (625 firms); Peter Weill & Stephanie Woerner

Investors have acknowledged their awareness of importance of governance, demonstrating a willingness to pay premium of up to 20 percent on shares of enterprises known to have a governance framework in place

Case Study 1 : Manufacturing - Europe

Global organization with revenue of US$ 9 BN

First time in the life span started multi million dollar ERP program and did not succeed in 3 previous attempts

Integrations within applications growing out of hand

Program Office not established

Low awareness and practice of Project Management Methodology

Business frustrated due to consistent failures and not supportive of the initiative

Processes adequate for managing small project but not sustainable for large programs

a) Creation of program office b) Program Sponsor to undertake the OCM c) Revalidation of vendor commitment and customized framework for vendor and application evaluation

Operationalization plan of IT strategy objectives related to program

Mentoring the Program Manager

Creation / implementation of Business-IT alignment initiatives

Establishment of core processes such as risk and quality at the program level

Definition of process maturity framework
