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.
