Strategic IT Management: Enhancing TOGAF for IT
Governance and Value Management
Today’s business models are changing. Responsiveness
to external triggers becomes a key competitive advantage.
Organization and IT-silos often impede the successful implementation
of new business strategy in time.
The definition and implementation of a well suited architecture
strategy is just one of four necessary elements of a business
aligned IT strategy. Organization, services and sourcing
strategy are the others. The IT governance model directs
and controls the definition and implementation of the IT
strategy and ensures its acceptance at the relevant stakeholders.
The framework introduced in this presentation supports the
successful implementation of modern business strategies.
For example, it offers tools to identify business value of
planned measures derived from EVA in order to identify highly
efficient action fields for IT support and to prioritize
planned measures in a portfolio. It also contains an IT-governance
model, derived from TOGAF; which can be tailored according
to individual business needs or political or cultural constraints.
