IT Governance Questions

• Organizing model. Should the company adopt a centralized, decentralized or hybrid approach?
• Investment. What should the company invest in, and how much should it invest?
• Architecture. Should the company emphasize stability or flexibility? To what degree? Should applications be externally purchased or internally developed? Should there be a single, comprehensive ERP application, or multiple applications?
• Standards. Which components of technology should the organization standardize, and which standards should it adopt?
• Resources. What types of resources should the IT organization utilize, and what should be the sourcing of those resources?
