IT Value and Governance
The Problem We are Trying to Solve
"Recognition of IT's strategic importance is growing, but so is dissatisfaction with its effectiveness" - so concludes The McKinsey Global IT Survey published in 2014. At The Digital Board we recognise that Executive Boards need to take action to address the performance of IT: to improve IT Governance, to ensure that technology spending is directed to the right initiatives, and that it is achieving value for money. We have a framework that allows executives to gain assurance on these perspectives with objectivity and granularity.
• Are you doing the right things?
• Are you doing them well enough?
• How do you know?
Is IT spending being directed to initiatives aligned with strategy and offering the best returns? Is it being used effectively to reduce costs, raise productivity, and increase revenues? These are questions that most CEOs and CFOs and even CIOs find difficult to answer.
At The Digital Board we know that governance over IT is best led from the top, with open communication between the Executive Board and the CIO. We are committed to assisting corporate leaders to ensure that technology risks are mitigated, that investments are made appropriately, and that they deliver on expected returns.
We believe that effective IT governance requires informed dialogue, and that support to the CEO, CFO, and CIO is key to provide adequate comprehension of IT performance and risks.
