Responding to the need of business leaders and IT professionals for a deeper understanding of ISO 38500, Infonomics has developed a suite of three educational modules that meet the needs of those needing an overview, those who desire a clear understanding of the purpose and application of the standard, and those who seek to improve their own organisation's governance of IT.

The Briefing for Senior Executives and Directors provides the opportunity to learn about corporate governance of IT and ISO/IEC 38500 from one of its authors.

The half day Introductory Seminar explains the drivers for ISO/IEC 38500, the benefits of the standard, and the key concepts that it defines.  It explains how corporate governance of information technology is part of corporate governance, and how the system for corporate governance of IT spans from the boardroom to the coalface of the organisation.  Participants complete a 30 point self-assessment of their organizations approach to governance of IT. 

The full day Masterclass is designed to build a deep appreciation of the key concepts in ISO/IEC 38500, equipping participants with the understanding necessary to begin applying the standard in all aspects of planning and controlling the use and delivery of IT.  It  reviews and then builds on the concepts presented in the Introduction, focusing on the application of the six principles for good governance of IT as organisations develop strategy, prepare plans, implement new capabilities and conduct business activities that depend on IT.  Participants complete an 84 point in-depth self-assessment of their organizations approach to governance of IT, creating for themselves the first stage of a plan for using the standard to improve their approach to directing and controlling IT. 

Infonomics ISO/IEC 38500 Education is available as an in-house event, as an Infonomics event, or in conjunction with selected Infonomics Partners.
