WikiEducator IT Governance Policy

Strategic Alignment

It is important that an IT Governance model allows the technology and related initiatives to align closely with the endeavours strategy. In simple terms, it should be the strategy that drives the technology. It is also important to recognize that strategy will change and as the organization makes change due to successes, failures and changes to the space the organization operates the IT Governance approach could also change.
