Presentation
Mapping TOGAF 8 and COBIT4
Presentation
Governance, Architecture
and Strategy - Fuelling business value
Peter Weill's
ground-breaking research concludes that "effective
IT governance is the single most important predictor of the value an organisation
generates from IT", but there is no single model of good corporate
governance. In their 2006 book, Enterprise Architecture as Strategy, Jeanne
W. Ross, Peter Weill, and David Robertson reach "a counter-intuitive
but vital message: when it comes to executing your strategy, your enterprise
architecture may matter far more than your strategy itself." Without
adequate governance, however, Enterprise Architecture will
remain a theoretical concept and will fail to deliver the
desired business benefits. Governance is fundamental in entrenching Enterprise
Architecture into a business, to ensure a new, and more profitable, way
of working. This presentation examines the direct links between Ross and
Weill's research, TOGAF and CobiT 4, so as to understand how to develop
and sustain a business-appropriate enterprise architecture practice.
