IT Governance Improvement
Implementing or improving IT Governance is a strategic decision in a company. It is a strategic change project or program that will need to be managed as such. Although IT process improvement and IT project improvement are 2 key drivers to improving your IT governance, IT governance is also a topic to be viewed on its own. Within the domain of IT Governance, ADJUGO offers services related to Val IT and Green-IT
The most commonly known framework to implement or assess IT Governance is Val IT. This framework focuses on the most important elements of IT Governance being Strategic alignment, Value delivery, Resource management, Risk management and Performance measurement. With the increased focus on corporate and IT governance, Val IT has quickly gained popularity.
The same holds for Green-IT. As both organizations and consumers are getting more and more conscious about the environment, there is an increased pressure on IT departments to manage and govern their ICT more efficiently and more environmentally friendly.
With Val IT and Green-IT in mind, ADJUGO will support you in setting up an IT Governance improvement program that will help you in reaching a higher maturity level. It will allow you to becoming more agile, leaner and able to respond faster to market requirements.
In our approach, we pay special attention to two related key elements being Change Management and Human Resource Management. We believe that managing the change and managing Human Resources are key success factors to implementing high quality IT Governance.
People do not like change and have the natural tendency to avoid it. But in the IT world, change is unavoidable. Running projects, adapting IT processes, implementing software etc. all involve major changes. Ignoring the human side can then be a major risk. We believe that the fear of change significantly contributes to failure in projects and hence, needs to be managed pro-actively.
ADJUGO addresses this resistance to change by applying change management, fully integrated in our approach. We estimate what impact a change will have on employee behaviour patterns, work processes, technological requirements and motivation. We help anticipating and managing employee reactions and we provide support and coaching, as employees go through the process of accepting the change.
