Who would deny that governance of ICT continues to be a "hot topic". In the Company Director community, debate persists regarding whether or not IT is a matter for board contemplation.
In executive ranks, frustration continues, with IT costs seen as excessive, while IT departments are still castigated fro under-delivering, and spruikers talk up the virtues of new technologies.
Meanwhile, inside IT departments, IT leaders are investing in new and better systems of control, and moving to adopt standards such as ITIL (which is closely related to AS8018 / BS15000 / ISO20000) and COBIT.
And all of this is happening against a backdrop of increasing investment and dependence on information technology, and the ever-present possibility that something will go horribly wrong, as it did for the Australian Customs Service and all organisations involved in importing goods on 12 October 2005.
Continuing the series launched in 2003, IQPC has organised a conference with content and appeal for directors, executives and IT leaders who want to come to grips with the key questions:
What is IT Governance about?
Why is IT Governance important?
How can organisations go about setting up good IT Governance?
