IT-Success. Moving From IT-Governance to Enterprise-Governance of Information Systems in Inter-Governmental Organisations

Master's Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Computer Science - Commercial Information Technology, grade: 62, Roehampton University London, language: English, abstract: This dissertation examines the way, the usage of IT-Technology has envolved. It does so by further explaning a case study of intergovernmental organisations using newly established IT-Governance in Kenya.

The way we utilise IT/IS has evolved. Frameworks are presently being utilised to kill monotonous undertakings and digitising prior work. Notwithstanding, another utilisation of IT/IS frameworks is installed in basic leadership and authoritative change. This development requests a higher speculation; it is no longer simply the PC or Server. Words like Value, Strategic Roadmap, IT Business Alignment, Integration, ERP and so on are being tossed around to focus an organisation¿s full potential. This drive for higher value accompanies a sticker price and risks. The research seeks to fill the gap by undertaking a comprehensive research of the success of IT governance and governance of IS in the intergovernmental organisations using a case-study of UNICEF Kenya. This study will fuse a scrutiny of already distributed papers on this subject and conclude deductions on IT/IS administration structures and methodologies that have been demonstrated to work for the new-age organisation by utilising the post-positivism philosophy and descriptive research design.

The literature review of the study will demonstrate how intergovernmental organisations implement different levels of IS integration to improve their operations in the global arena. The literature also will highlight to a smaller extent some of the impacts of IT governance on intergovernmental organisations. The researcher utilised UNICEF Kenya for the sample selection of the study. The results of the research portray that IT governance and enterprise governance of IS have significance in improving the strategic planning or organisations. The findings of the study demonstrate that one of the major successes brought by the enterprise governance of information systems is the provision of enhanced strategic governance in the intergovernmental organisations. Consequently, the study outcomes have also portrayed some of the factors necessary for the success of IT governance in intergovernmental organisations.
