IT Governance Model

The IT Advisory Committee has five focus areas, ensuring:

Strategic Alignment

• Enterprise IT is aligned with the university's strategic plan
• The IT strategic plan sustains and enables goals and objectives of the university
• The IT strategic plan is multi-year, with short-, medium-, and long-term goals and objectives

Value delivery

• Mechanisms are in place to ensure enterprise IT is doing the right things
• UNB is getting full benefit from what IT does - both strategically and financially
• IT systems and services are designed with, and for, users; maximum utility is obtained from all investments

Risk Management

• Optimization of enterprise IT security, reliability, performance, and compliance, to reduce risk
• Enterprise IT is more than reactive - it leads, within the context of a strategic plan, but always evaluates risks associated with new or continuing projects and processes

Resource Management

• IT has the right people and tools to do the job
• Integrated, economical IT infrastructure is provided
• New technology is introduced as required, while obsolete systems are updated or replaced

Performance Measurement

• Enterprise IT achievement of objectives is tracked, and corrections made when needed
• Creation of scorecards, assessment tools, and assurance activities to focus on continual improvement
• Links performance measures to other focus areas
