IT Governance deals with managing IT

risks, value and establishing control pro-

cesses, while judiciously allocating deci-

sion rights. IT Governance is a topic that

many companies today are trying to mas-

ter. Here are some reasons why:

We spend a lot on IT : The worldwide

spending on IT and ITES is in excess

of USD 3.2 trillion. An average US

company spends about 50% of its

CAPEX on IT

IT is everywhere : Organizations are

more and more dependent on their

information systems for their surviv-

al. Failure of IT systems can lead to

the collapse of the enterprise.

Legal Ramifications : IT has become

so crucial that even regulators and

shareholders are increasingly getting

involved in policies around the prop-

er use of information, particularly

personal data.

It can be safely said that governance of IT

systems is largely causing the difference

between the success and failure of to-

day's high technology environment.

The IT Governance simulation places the

participant in the shoes of a consultant

who is responsible for IT governance

strategy of a company. In the simulation,

the participant prioritizes IT projects,

manages a project portfolio, manages IT

risk and also allocates decision rights.

The participant is assessed based on the

ROI and the strategic variance.
