High-performing IT operating models can’t work under traditionally strict command-and-control IT governance. Future fit tech execs require a new and more adaptive, creative, and resilient governance model to maintain the level of technical fitness required by the accelerating pace of business and tech change. This governance model must optimize a mix of command-and-control with empowering delegation to guide the delivery of a future fit tech strategy with adaptivity, creativity, and resilience. Tech execs must design and deploy decisions, accountability, control, and transparency in a manner that increases the effectiveness of funding, policy, risk management, and metrics.
