In many organisations, information technology (IT) has become crucial in the support, sustainability and growth of the business. This pervasive use of technology has created a critical dependency on IT that calls for a specific focus on IT governance. IT governance consists of the leadership and organisational structures and processes that ensure that the organisation's IT sustains and extends the organisation's strategy and objectives. Today, IT governance is high on the agenda of many organisations, and high-level IT governance models are being created. Once a specific IT governance model is chosen and implemented, it should, as indicated in the above definition, enable that IT sustains and extends the business goals, or in other words, enable that IT is aligned to the business needs. The IT governance implementation challenge and the subsequent impact on business/IT alignment constitute the core domain of this research.

520 $a In many organisations, information technology (IT) has become crucial in the support, sustainability and growth of the business. This pervasive use of technology has created a critical dependency on IT that calls for a specific focus on IT governance. IT governance consists of the leadership and organisational structures and processes that ensure that the organisation's IT sustains and extends the organisation's strategy and objectives. Today, IT governance is high on the agenda of many organisations, and high-level IT governance models are being created. Once a specific IT governance model is chosen and implemented, it should, as indicated in the above definition, enable that IT sustains and extends the business goals, or in other words, enable that IT is aligned to the business needs. The IT governance implementation challenge and the subsequent impact on business/IT alignment constitute the core domain of this research.
520 $a This practice-oriented research focus is relatively unexplored in academic literature. Many research projects focused on the impact of specific contingencies on e.g. centralised versus decentralised governance structures and on how strategic alignment impacts business performance. However, less research can be found on how organisations are effectively implementing IT governance in day-to-day practice and what the impact is of the IT governance implementation on business/IT alignment. Via this research, we want to contribute to new theory building in the IT governance domain of knowledge and assist practitioners by providing more guidance on how IT governance can be effectively implemented. This research can be seen as a discovery tour in a relatively new scientific domain, with little cumulative research to build on. This explains that the general mode of this research can be categorised as exploratory, starting with a very open mind and evolving in the research towards more precise answers and observations related to the research questions under review. The research triangulates between different research strategies: literature research, pilot case research, delphi research, survey (benchmarking) research and extreme case research. Major finding is that business/IT alignment maturity is higher when organisations are applying a mix of mature IT governance practices.
