Reccan - IT Management - IT Governance - Best Practise Guidelines

Reccan is committed to the use of best practice standards and guidelines for IT governance and IT management.

Drawing on these best practice resources and many years of direct experience, Reccan has developed a framework to help organisations utilise the available standards and guidelines for IT governance.

Available best practice advice on IT governance tends to focus on either how business and IT management activity is coordinated to deliver business benefits or interprets IT governance as an IT risk and control concern.

The Reccan IT governance framework recognises that the successful management of both IT benefits and IT risks require the same overall process and cultural commitment. The framework illustrates the organisational elements that are required to maintain a successful IT governance commitment.

This framework can be verified against all the major sources of best practice IT governance advice and therefore provides a powerful reference point for implementing or advancing your organisation’s IT governance position.

The outer circle explains the principles and processes needed to identify and progress both business opportunities and risks. The inner circle identifies the work environment (culture) needed to ensure that all individuals, teams and the organisation as a whole, work together to deliver the full business potential that is available from IT.

IT is an integral part of the corporate drive for profitability and growth. IT governance is an established and proven approach to providing the leadership for organisational commitment, effective management processes and performance monitoring required to meet business IT objectives and control IT risk.
