|
Section B  David Nolan's bio |
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
CULTURE"
Presented by: David Nolan, Vice President of Consulting
Services, Forsythe Solutions
Discussion: Achieving as culture of effective governance is
the key to proactively managing risk. To reach this state, companies
need to embrace a simplified, integrated approach, or be forever in the
position of chasing a moving target. From a risk management
perspective, instituting effective corporate governance means embracing
a culture that extends beyond what regulators, and auditors tell you to
do, to one in which you hold yourselves to a higher standard...an
environment where every move also reduces risk, regardless of the
primary need being addressed. In this framework, risk can never be
overlooked or rationalized. The goal is to create a risk management
culture where you continually architect, design, integrate and manage
IT within this context. A culture where corporate policy drives
strategy, which drives architecture, which drives operational
excellence (service delivery), is an environment that builds trust in
effective corporate governance among a company's employees, customers,
partners, and investors.

Business Problem: With the availability of more sophisticated software and an increase in employee discontent, more IT departments are finding their computers and data to be at greater risk both through the network and from behind the console.

they doing to accomplish this paradigm changing strategy? This panel
will explore the new roles of the CIO as they are being summoned more
frequently to appear before the Board, the Audit Committee, the Risk
Committee and the Budget Committee. We will explain why menemonics in
the CIO's vocabulary like SAP, DSL CRM, and ERP are now being replaced
