Book Reviews of IT Governance: How Top Performers Manage IT Decision Rights for Superior Results
Book Review: One of the best books on IT Governance
Summary: 5 Stars
I think the book is one of the best books in the industry articulating the importance of IT Governance. The book gives various blue prints for IT Governance in the industry which are helpful in designing IT operational models. The book caters both experienced IT managers and professionals aspiring to become IT managers. I think the book is worth the investment as the reader will get planning and implementation guidelines to institute structured governance methodologies at different levels of an organization.

Summary of IT Governance: How Top Performers Manage IT Decision Rights for Superior Results
Seventy percent of all IT projects fail—and scores of books have attempted to help firms measure and manage IT systems and processes better in order to turn this figure aroundIn this book, IT experts Peter D. Weill and Jeanne W. Ross argue that the real reason IT fails to deliver value is that companies have no formal system in place for guiding and monitoring IT decisions.
Their research shows that firms with explicit IT governance systems have twice the profit of firms with poor governance, given the same strategic objectives. Just as corporate governance systems aim to ensure quality decisions about corporate assets, the authors show, companies need IT governance systems to ensure that IT investments are made wisely and effectively.
