ABSTRACT

This chapter provides an overview of The Strategic information technology (IT) Governance 2.0 model. It illustrates the framework for the model. There are four levels of maturity in the Strategic IT Governance 2.0 model. Each of the four maturity paths reflects the characteristics exhibited in each of the six Strategic IT Governance 2.0 competencies. The chapter provides a high-level overview of the Strategic IT Governance 2.0 methodology. Strategic IT Governance 2.0 embraces six key competencies. Three of the six competencies – Executive Sponsorship, Business/IT Partnership, and Strategic Alignment – support the Business Value principle through Leadership Excellence. The remaining three – Collaboration, Process Optimization, and Best Practice Metrics – support the IT Efficiency principle through Project/Process Excellence discipline. The chapter explores that companies need to assess, analyze, plan, and implement a maturity program to improve their governance competencies.
