GOVERNANCE CHALLENGES

Organizations face many decision-making thresholds during the course of planning, acquisition, delivery and operation of their Information Technology (IT) capabilities. In order to achieve successful delivery of IT capabilities, and therefore derive the expected business or mission performance outcomes, organizations must effectively apply and integrate multiple governance processes and frameworks.

Integrated governance involves the orchestration of policies (including delineation of roles, responsibilities, and authorities), processes, and tools for successfully meeting business requirements that ultimately support an organization’s overall mission. More often than not, the various governance processes operate independently and at various stages of maturity. Integration facilitates maturation of these processes, effective alignment to business or mission outcomes, and application of the appropriate enterprise models and tools.

Blackstone Technology Group’s (Blackstone) consultants offer proven, integrated governance and IT management solutions, specifically in the areas of:

  • Investment and Portfolio Management;

  • Technology Management; and
  • IT Project Management and Operations.

Blackstone brings tested and proven processes (including SOA-centric), strong relationships with IT product and service vendors, and experience in both “bottom-up” and “top-down” approaches to integrated governance and IT management.

Blackstone’s approach to Enterprise IT governance involves a tailored Governance Process Integration framework along with consultants experienced in many industries, from energy and healthcare to government. Beyond identifying applicable governance standards such as ITIL® and COBIT®, Blackstone conducts a competency diagnostic to determine the current management state of an organization.
