Driving Business Value: The Role of IT
Governance in the Enterprise

organization if designed, implemented and
managed properly. The first step is to

transformation. Then well-thought out
strategies and frameworks can be implemented to
ensure that business expectations of IT are met,
that performance can be measured, resources are
managed effectively and risks are mitigated.
In this session attendees will learn:
-
How to put structure around aligning IT with
business strategy
-
How detailed the level of sophistication
should be based on the size of your
organization, your industry and applicable
regulations

Creating Your Own 'Secret Sauce' for Strategy,
Governance, and Portfolio Management
Susan Malisch, Vice President, Chief Information
Officer, Loyola University Chicago
Many organizations struggle with aligning
Information Technology with the strategic
direction of the business environment in which
they operate. This misalignment generally
creates a set of cascading problems; a lack of
understanding of how projects are selected for
implementation, what criteria are used to
prioritize projects, and how projects are
managed and controlled once they are initiated.
While there are many strategies and project
management methodologies generally available,
success is often determined by how well the
leadership adapts techniques which are best
suited to their environment.
This presentation will cover a 10-point
checklist, provide specific templates, tips and
techniques, and provoke food for thought in how
to create or refine your "secret sauce" of
Strategy, Governance, and Portfolio Management.

IT Governance in
Action
Rod Cleary, Senior Manager, Process Quality
Assurance, Sallie Mae
IT Governance initiatives are often
well-intentioned, but lack the ability to
demonstrate true business value. This is because
the hinge pin in a successful governance
initiative is the measurement component. In the
absence of an effective IT measurement program,
governance initiatives are destined to be viewed
as adversaries instead of advocates. In order to
be successful, IT leadership teams must develop
a "show me the data" mentality in their
governance models and decision-making. In this
session attendees will learn eight critical
success factors to ensuring that their
governance initiative rests on a solid
foundation and are positioned for success.
In this session,
attendees will learn:
-
How to sell IT
governance as something that the IT
leadership team can't live without
-
How to use a
pre-defined goal framework as a "reference
architecture" for your organization
-
How to use a
balanced scorecard in support of IT's
self-governance (including a demo of an
operational balanced scorecard)
-
The power of
"balance" in a balanced scorecard
-
How to use IT governance
results to build bridges with key customers

IT and other business units have different
needs, yet need to work closely together to
drive the enterprise forward. In certain
situations, some business units may not
understand or appreciate the value of
information technology which may leave IT
decisions being made in a silo. A better
approach is to have stakeholders involved from
different business units who will directly
benefit from the technology since it can have a
direct, positive impact on their business goals.
But how should this be accomplished?
In this session attendees will learn:
-
How to start with strategic planning for
technology
-
How to articulate the value to other
business units
-
How to gain sponsorship at executive levels
-
How to show projected and proven results

your governance framework is benefitting your
enterprise. Solid IT governance will help with
the coordination, execution, efficiency and
