- Description
- The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the COBIT 5 ICT governance framework has been implemented successfully in the public TVET sector. The study clarifies that ICT governance is not only about satisfying audit requirements; the core of ICT governance based on Cobit 5 is alignment between business and ICT. The study proposed a theoretical framework whereby the perceived benefits of implementing COBIT 5 in the public TVET college sector in South Africa was the dependent variable. The proposed independent variables were namely; Training, Adoption, Leadership, Value in IT Investment and Risk Management. The study infers that the board and/or council within an organisation need to lead the process in relation to the governance of ICT. Moreover, the study takes cognisance that ICT is a strategic enabler and thus the board or council ought to play their role of oversight, monitoring and ensuring optimal utilisation of IT resources. The study challenges the perception that IT is a mere operational functional and deduces that top management ought to incorporate IT when formulating and/or reviewing the business strategy. IT ought to be included in any strategic related activity in the organisation. IT should not be left out of the boardroom if management envisage to derive value from ICT investment.
