Corporate governance, as defined by business C-suite executives, may be developed and executed differently than IT governance, as defined by technical C-suite executives and are seemingly separate efforts.
However, best practices Chief information officer (CIOs) have echoed the notion that the two must be orchestrated as a concerted effort to foster and accomplish the overall strategic objective of a corporation.
“It is impossible to have strong corporate governance without strong IT governance”(Moore, 2009).
In many enterprise organizations, the CIO reports to the chief executive officer (CEO) and at some companies the CIO has a seat on the executive board.
