UWI ICT Governance
ICT Governance defines the alliances, processes and decision-making structure to ensure the alignment of ICT and business strategies and the requisite performance, management and accountability to maximise the likelihood and minimise the risk of obtaining the benefits from key ICT expenditure and resources.
Effective ICT Governance will address three (3) questions:
- What decisions must be made to ensure effective management and use of ICT and guarantee the realisation of value from ICT investments?
- Who should make these decisions?
- How will these decisions be made and monitored?
