Strategic IT Governance and Performance Frameworks in Large Organizations

As digitization continues to bring rapid changes to businesses, companies must remain agile in order to comply with changing regulations and maintain governance and compliance while achieving its business objectives. To achieve this agility, IT staff within these companies must be able to respond quickly to changing business needs while maintaining existing and efficient infrastructure. Strategic IT Governance and Performance Frameworks in Large Organizations is an essential reference source that provides emerging frameworks and models that implement an efficient strategic IT governance in organizations and discusses the effects these policies have on the business as a whole. Featuring six international case studies from large organizations, this title covers topics such as IT management, security policy, and organizational governance, and is ideally designed for IT specialists, academicians, researchers, policymakers, and managers.

Abdelkebir Sahid completed my Ph.D. Information Systems Management and IT strategic Agility at the Hassan-1st University of Morocco since 2019, following several years of working experience in the high-tech industry. His focal area of research was the subject of Agile IT and Information Systems that led to several highly referenced publications, over 30 papers (books, book chapters, case studies, international journals, and conferences/workshops), and 2 authored books: “Strategic Information System Agility: From Theory to Practices”, by Emerald. And “Strategic IT Governance and Performance Frameworks in Large Organizations” by IGI-Global. This research has been extended to other areas IT Governance and Management, IT Strategy and Alignment, IT Value and Performance Management, IT Assurance and Audit, Information Risk and Security. Ensuring an efficient and agile information system in a volatile and uncertain environment is a real challenge. Only an agile IT strategy can underpin it. The theme of agility in my research functions as a platform that offers methodological and practical support for achieving effective IT agility in complex and dynamic environments and provides new ideas for addressing emerging challenges in organizations of all types and missions. As a strategic direction, agility reflects the development and operationalization of dynamic organizational capabilities to achieve competitiveness in response to the business environment the organization faces. As such, I examine all aspects that play a key role in enabling the organization through agility and resilience capabilities, especially the application of ICT. Hist research has involved engaging with one of the Leading port management organizations and industry at various capacities, 10s of SMEs, large companies, Oil and Gas sector in MENA and Europe.
