IT Governance Design and Implementation

The Copperwood Group understands that strong IT governance process is key to ensure that the IT function sustains and extends the organization's strategies and objectives. IT governance must enable the enterprise to take full advantage of its information and the technology while executing within the value proposition for IT delivery and managing risk appropriately.

Our governance design process uses best practice guidelines in defining a model for a single governance framework that will provide a common language to facilitate communications between IT and the enterprise stakeholders. The characteristics include:

• Strategic alignment that is driven by enterprise requirements
• A clear view of the IT value proposition throughout the delivery cycle
• Clear ownership and responsibilities based on process orientation
• Shared responsibility for IT resource management
• Clear understanding of the enterprise's appetite for risk and transparency of risk management
• into the organization
• Performance measurements to track and monitor IT goals and outcomes
• Ability to change as new challenges emerge
• Tailored to the enterprise's decision-making style and management culture
