  2. Part One: Governance Overview

  3. What is Governance? IT Governance is defined as: “…Specifying the framework for decision rights and accountabilities to encourage desirable behavior in the use of IT” Center for Information System Research, Sloan School of Management – MIT: Peter Weill • It is driven by the need for closer interaction and involvement with stakeholders…. basically integrating the three "C's" : Cooperation, Consensus and Community, into the model • IT Governance is not about the specific decisions made, but rather about determining who makes each type of decision, who has input into the decision, and how one is held accountable for their role

  4. Today Tomorrow Aligned Unaligned Shared Common Moving Towards The Role of Governance in “Acting as One” • Governance is a key enabler in this transformation • CIOs and IT Heads are agents of “business transformation” • Defined and active central governance is essential in federated organizations with distributed decision-making to achieve the strategic outcomes

  5. The Governance and Organization’s Relationship 1 • Decisions are at the core of governance, as • which decisions are to be made; • where decision will be opened and closed; • how decisions are reached; and • who will be accountable for results Decision Rights & Accountability Structure Governance 1 2 Structure defines the composition of the bodies that make or execute on joint decisions. 2 Relationship Management 3 Relationship Management informs how parties work together 3

  6. Simple Simple to understand and explain Easy to maintain Participative and inclusive Stakeholders must be part of the decision process All parties concerned should be given the opportunity to provide input and feedback All departments and agencies must be informed of the decisions made Formal Governance - its roles, responsibilities and structures are recognized and supported The decision process will follow a known process that ensures appropriate consultation and engagement from all stakeholders Decisions made are universal and are inherited Decisions made are for all of government, including international, and any exception required will be handled by an established variance process Flexible The governance structure should be able to accommodate new directions and decision areas, and new stakeholders Acting as One The model should support the alignment of government-wide and departmental decisions Departments’ and agencies will implement a governance structure for IT that is in line with Treasury Board Secretariat (CIOB) to facilitate communication and alignment Proposed Principles for the TBS IT Governance Model

  7. Part Two: The Shared Services Vision

  8. FY 2003-04 $4.95B Corporate Administrative Shared Services (CASS) 7% Telecom 16% Program Applications 23% Data Center 21% Security & Distributed Architecture Computing 2% 31% Scope of IT Infrastructure in the GC PWGSC/ITSB has provided IT Services to other GC departments since 1970s – annually now »$ 500M. IT Shared Services $3B IT Infrastructure which could be a “Utility” IT Infrastructure is pervasive and critical to GC Operations

  9. Aging workforce, shrinking IT labour pool 89K short in Canada, of 600K total, in five years Aging infrastructure, too little re-capitalization, not “Green” Rustout occurring, year end buy process not viable We are accepting additional Business and Security risks from having many networks and data centres to manage, secure and test effective Business Continuity plans Not fully leveraging Industry and our scale Stove-piped duplication, inefficiency on the order of $300-500M/year 144 separate networks GC-wide 315,000 non-standardized desktops, >120 helpdesks 140 data centres, 120,000 servers We are not alone - other Governments, the Private Sector are acting Current Health of GC IT Infrastructure Status quo is not sustainable Opportunity - Grow IT Shared Services

  10. The GC is adopting Service Orientation as a fundamental design principle Departments Departmental Applications Security and Business Continuity Access Enablers IT-SSO Data Centres Networks Access Devices

  11. Part Three: A Governance Model for the Management of IT Policy

  12. The Management of IT Framework Governance STRATEGY (act as one) MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTABILITY FRAMEWORK (MAF) • MIT • POLICY • Governance Directive • Tech & App Strategy Directive T & AS G Key Performance Indicator (KPI) MEASUREMENTS

  13. Scope: Strategic Decisions • The IT decisions to be made are related to the Directive on Technology and Application Strategies and the defined end state of services: aligned, shared, common: • Data Centre • Network • Desktop • Application Development • IT Strategic Planning • IT Management Process
