IT governance is a board-led management framework - not a software 'solution' or a single, proprietary framework - for making IT an integrated, value-adding part of the business.
This book assesses the strengths and weaknesses - in the context of competitiveness, corporate governance demands and regulatory requirements - of current frameworks (including COSO, CoBIT, ITIL, ISO 15000, ISO17799, AS 8015, GAISP).
