This is a toolkit summarizing my experience and research with IT strategy, policy, and governance for IT 7833. It also includes a few essays I have written for previous courses to show my understanding of other disciplines related to IT. Check out the glossary for major terms used in this website. For further reading, take a look at my sources.
Not all IT professionals are in management.
Those that are in management can influence their business’s IT strategy, policy, and governance on a daily basis. Non-managerial professionals are influenced by strategy, policy, and governance.
Does your place of business have rules about which kinds of technology workers can use? That’s policy.
Does your place of business have training on how to use work-related technology? That’s governance.
Does your place of business acquire or develop new technology every few years? That’s strategy.
My hope is that this website makes you recognize how your work environment is influenced by IT strategy, policy, and governance as I have.
