IT Governance: Guidelines for Directors

by Alan P. Calder

Overview

Aliging IT with the business is a key board objective. Better shareholder returns, greater competitiveness and fewer compliance issues are typical benefits of an IT governance framework. This is not a technology book. It has been written specifically for those directors, managers and their professional advisers who want to leverage IT more effectively to compete in our information economy. It argues that getting real value from IT is about leadership and shows how the board and CEO can take that lead - and avoid security breaches, project failure, compliance exposure, reputation damage, job loss and jail time. It's a book for the business leaders of today - and tomorrow.
