Effective governors communicate what the priorities of your organization are and what is expected of people.

most IT governance strategies prove to be ineffective in practice due to application of traditional strategies and ways of thinking.

Lean IT governance balances your short-term and long-term needs. Too many organizations have allowed technical debt to grow in recent years, for the skills of their IT staff to stagnate, and to continue to tolerate traditional IT process strategies from yesteryear. This is because they allowed short-term priorities to trump long-term health. We must do better.
