This book discusses a dilemma common to many corporation’s IT
departments--the tension between top-down governance directives and
the challenge to get everything properly functioning on a bottom-up
basis. Making IT governance work does not simply mean adherence to
an ABC of (a) going more deeply into rules, (b) implementing a
framework, and (c) registering good results. Neither is this book a
guide to frameworks and compliance. Its goal is to describe an
entire repertoire of resources that can assist in arriving at
better IT governance. Among these resources are CobiT, bottom-up
governance principles such as distributed leadership constitute
another, and portfolio management.
