COBIT & SFIA: The Most Important Component to a Governance System - People!

With today’s high-velocity technology and digitally transforming environments, it is no surprise that we are seeing the re-emergence of governance as a top priority in many enterprises. Organizations often make the mistake of jumping right to the tools, processes, and policies to presumably fix their governance concerns when they should be focusing on their most important component – people.

This webinar will explore how to leverage two global frameworks, COBIT and SFIA (Skills Framework for the Information Age) to create a sustainable governance system by focusing on the people component and how organizations can meet their governance objectives by inventorying and applying the correct mix of competencies required to assist organizations in meeting their goals and objectives.

We will be discussing:
- Recognizing the key elements of a governance system.
- Linking the importance of skills and competencies to a successful governance system.
- Exploring how COBIT and SFIA can create a powerful governance system that focuses on applying knowledge and skills to achieve intended results.
