 Presentation
Effective EA Capability
Leveraging governance and risk management
practices
Conference delegates will be enlightened how adaptive organisations should
focus on implementing four key management disciplines in order to competitively
differentiate themselves. The rationale for and the challenges with building
Enterprise Architecture, IT Governance, Information & IT Risk Management
and Enterprise Programme Management capability and to integrate these at the
process level will be ascertained.
EA on its own has proven not to deliver the anticipated
value, however if it is build into the IT value chain as
one of the key building blocks, it could significantly impact
the organisations ability to react to change and be future-proofed.
Creating a new role i.e. chief governance officer (CGO)
will also be put forward. The CGO is needed to implement
and manage the required efficiency measurements across all
the disciplines, oversee polices and standards implementation,
develop an IT compliance strategy and handle objective risk-based
assessments with regards to ongoing compliance and coordinate
architecture reviews.
