“Governance happens in corporations at three levels”. “So what should a CIO take away about governance? Here are three steps I recommend:
- First, assign one accountable owner of integrating governance, whether that’s the project management office or a group created to oversee a large implementation like an ERP system.
- Second, figure out who is accountable to who. Will IT be accountable to the board level or the executive level? Aligning the governance structures is critical.
- Third, determine what governances exist, what may need to be created, and what can be streamlined.
Get your governance house in order, and you’ll always know how to execute your program, and most importantly make the decisions you need to go forward.” – Jen Skrabak, Excerpted from her article, “3 ways CIOs can achieve consistent efficiency with governance” for The Enterprisers Project.
