Abstract

IT governance is one of the crucial aspects in the agenda of the modern organizations. Many leading organizations face an uncertain environment involving complexity in information technology architectures and infrastructure, and more demands for top management to validate and secure day-to-day operations. This research has shown the significant factors of successful IT governance implementation, which are strategic alignment and value delivery. It proposes these findings from a case study by showing a snapshot of how IT governance contributes to an enriched operational planning/management and strategic performance protocol in organizations. It scrutinizes these data to identify the influences on the implementation of IT governance in achieving business objectives and meeting needs and shaping ongoing implementation within current organizational contexts. Moreover, this paper provides hands-on material for practitioners to address their IT governance challenge, which could be a sample case study illuminating lessons learned for other organizations.
