Design Your IT Organization for the Future is the second blueprint in your organizational transformation journey. In this blueprint you will design the IT structure your organization needs to align with and deliver on enterprise strategic objectives.
As pressure mounts to introduce AI technologies into your organization, how is as important as what. Understand what it will take to introduce a level of governance to help you responsibly deliver on your roadmap and strategy for AI technologies.
Implement a structured and repeatable process, applied to one business unit at a time. Keep BCP planning efforts manageable and enable business unit leads to own their BCP in the future.
Create an IT strategy based on business needs, not just intuition. It is no longer enough to generate a text document and call it an IT strategy. Stakeholder attention spans are growing shorter; create a visual IT strategy to show how IT will support the business.
Informal, un-rationalized, ad hoc policies are ineffective because they do not explicitly outline responsibilities or compliance requirements, and they are rarely comprehensive. Without a strong lifecycle to keep policies up to date and easy to use, end users will ignore or work around poorly understood policies.
Build a business-aligned, risk-aware, holistic security strategy: gather business requirements to prioritize improvements; assess risks, stakeholder expectations, and risk appetite to set meaningful targets; conduct a comprehensive gap analysis to identify improvements; and build a flexible roadmap to set the program on the right footing.
Managing risk has never been more important. Ensure that your organization has an established and manageable way of governing a process related to identifying, assessing, responding, monitoring, and reporting on IT risks.
Develop a business-driven AI strategy to maximize benefits and minimize the risks associated with AI-based solutions. Understand the potential opportunities to improve business outcomes and best practices to govern the risks with developing or deploying AI applications.
As business complexity and uncertainty evolve, so too must your governance framework to ensure it remains in alignment with organizational purpose. Governance must be fit for purpose and aligned to value, providing the right amount of support to enable effective decision-making and drive positive business outcomes.
