Prepare Yourself with 2 Days of Professional Development focused on ISO 38500
Best Practice Governance of ICT in Victorian Government Agencies.
The Victorian Government ICT Strategy announced on 12 February 2013 that agencies will need to adopt best practice governance standards such as the international standard for corporate governance of information technology (ISO 38500).
ISO 38500 is dense and compact. During this class you will discover the immense depth and power of the standard, which defines principles for governance rather than rigid processes and inflexible structures.
Victoria’s ICT Strategy calls for new ways of engaging with citizens; new ways of organising and conducting government business and service delivery; and new ways of planning and delivering ICT solutions. It requires sustained high performance in delivery of ICT-enabled change. It positions effective governance as a critical capability to enable such change to be delivered.
This class will give you a deep appreciation of the key concepts in ISO 38500 and the behaviours and capabilities essential to effective governance and successful use of ICT.
You will see how to apply ISO 38500 when developing business and IT strategy, preparing plans, implementing new capabilities and in routine conduct of business activities that depend on ICT.
Your new insight will help you:
- Allocate responsibility for ICT, across both business and ICT management roles
- Align ICT to business strategy by integrating ICT into business planning
- Plan successful ICT investments by focusing on achievable business outcomes
- Ensure that ICT performs well by focusing it on business performance
- Guide behaviour and decisions with formal rules that make good business sense
- Understand how Human Behaviour is a key success factor
- Direct and control the use of ICT without being a technology expert
- Design and implement an effective top-to-bottom system for governance and management of ICT
On completion you will be able to obtain the following foundation knowledge:
- Explain broad implications of six principles for good governance of ICT;
- Describe how the principles are applied throughout the business cycle, from development of business strategy, through detailed planning and delivery of change and on to routine business use of ICT;
- Position ISO 38500 against common ICT management frameworks such as COBIT, ITIL, ValIT, Gateway, P3M3, MSP, Prince2 and so on;
- Identify key policies needed to underpin effective governance of ICT;
- Use ISO 38500 as a framework for assessing current arrangements for governance of ICT.
