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.
