Effective IT governance ensures your IT really delivers
/EINPresswire.com/ IT Governance (ITG), the one-stop shop for IT governance, compliance and information security expertise, reminds businesses that IT governance is a key component of corporate governance and is at the heart of strategic IT management in all successful organisations. The specialist consultancy and training provider has recently launched the Principles of IT Governance training course, the first of its kind in the UK, which is dedicated to helping organisations secure the benefits of better IT governance.
The need for a closer alliance of business objectives with IT resources, a better return on investment and the need for compliance to standards, are all significant drivers in ensuring that information technology truly delivers competitive advantage.
The Principles of IT Governance training course (www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/3461) is carefully structured, so that it positions IT governance in its wider context and then progresses through the essential framework building blocks to enable any organisation to achieve effective and practical implementation. The course is interactive, and aims to provide delegates with practical opportunities to link their growing understanding of IT governance best practice to their own corporate environment and circumstances.
Alan Calder, CEO of IT Governance, says: "Senior managers and consultants, who advise on IT governance, are in boardroom demand across the globe. IT governance is now recognised as a key driver in ensuring a return on IT investment. In order to compete at the highest levels, companies need staff with experience and the relevant, accredited qualifications".
The Principles of IT Governance training course (www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/3461) is designed for individuals whose role requires them to have a broad understanding of IT governance and a familiarity with the wide range of frameworks, standards and methodologies in use, from the COBIT governance/management framework and the corporate governance standard ISO 38500 through to the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL(R)) and the ISO27001 information security management standard. This course enables delegates to understand each of the existing frameworks and standards, to see them in their context, and to appreciate how to use each standard as part of an integrated approach to improving governance, risk management and compliance.
Calder himself, author of many governance publications including 'Corporate Governance' and 'IT Governance: A Pocket Guide', will be leading the training. The courses will provide delegates with opportunities to interact with their trainers to help identify and apply current lessons to their own organisations.
The course also prepares delegates for the 'Principles of IT Governance' examination, which is taken on the final day of the course. Successful candidates will be awarded the 'Certificate in IT Governance', a foundation qualification accredited by the International Board for IT Governance Qualifications (IBITGQ), the new international board for harmonising and improving IT governance qualifications.
