a. IT Governance: Trends, Frameworks and Methodologies

Over the past decade, IT investments have comprised a significant portion of the overall investment portfolio.  When looking at the future however, a potentially even stronger driver for IT investments will be the persistent trend of increased globalisation.  Globalisation often implies outsourcing, co-sourcing and mergers and acquisitions. The idea behind these trends is mainly the reduction of costs and /or risks. This is when IT Governance comes into play.

IT Governance is about optimising IT investments in such a way that the organisation
can meet its strategic objectives while delivering value and balancing risk versus return.

This course gives an up to date overview of IT Governance and is the ideal entry point to more specific seminars and workshops on Frameworks and Methodologies.
