Invitation to RITAaB Forum on IT Governance within the four generations of IT as a business

1. This latest Forum responds to member’s feedback and a clear appetite for more thought
leadership on the topic of IT Governance. It follows the successful Forums on “IT Budgets in a
Credit Crunch”, and [using] “IT Fiscal Governance” to manage costs and control spend.
The Four Generations of IT Governance: get it right or go wrong!
As your business moves up the four generations of corporate strategy for IT, then the focus of
your governance needs to change. If not, it will significantly constrain your ability to create
value from IT, especially in the context of how the IT market is itself evolving. Each generation
of governance and strategy is a foundation for the next one: “Technology”, “IT Efficiency”, “IT
Exploitation”, and “fruITion”. Where are you today compared to the market in general, and
what does this mean for your ‘next practice’ governance of IT?
Best Practice from award winning strategist
RITaaB is very fortunate to have Chris Potts, Author, Corporate IT Strategist & CIO Mentor as
thought leader on this topic. This is not a plug for his book fruITion but a chance to get an insight in what he is
counseling CIOs on the topic of Governance, and to explore where you are in the generation game. It is also a
chance to meet your peers and contribute to the debate.
Space is limited so please RSVP ASAP to kruz.bishop@morganstanley.com
