IT Governance simplified

I was witnessing an interesting discussion today on what IT Governance is all about. There were a lot of quotes, including definitions from ITGI and CIOs of large corporations.

I had an “aha” moment when I heard a wonderful definition – IT Management is within the IT function, whereas IT Governance is outside it.

In other words, IT Governance is better termed as Business governing of IT to ensure IT is an enabling partner for meeting organizational goals.

Do you have a different take on it?
