New engagement model of IT governance and IT management for the communication of the IT value at enterprises

Abstract

The power of IT and business alignment that has the use of a communication model of the IT value should be based on the ability to engage IT governance models and IT management models, respectively. This engagement should provide a clear view both board members, users and IT staff. Thus, our research provides this communication model that explains explicitly how IT projects, the board's strategy and business units should go together and in the same direction. In addition, our implementation of this model alerts the CIO when IT assets are not really aligned to the principles and objectives of the board or the budget is spent on just technology, not investing it in valued solutions. Our research methodology is based on the ISO/IEC 38500 standard model, although important features have been added based on our IT governance experience and the use of a tool that implement the model itself. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
