Quint’s goal was to draw up a roadmap that would help improve the maturity of IT governance, based on 3 factors: benefits, risks and costs. To this end, a plan was devised, consisting of four project programs, aimed at enhancing the different areas of IT governance. A new control model was also established to measure benefits and facilitate decision-making while at the same time addressing the risks faced by the company.
The Governance Master Plan was designed using the Quint Governance Model, which enabled the information gathered from the different business units to be analyzed from several perspectives (strategy, functions, metrics, processes and tools). Nineteen improvement initiatives were identified for implementation within four years. These initiatives were then divided across four programs for the short, medium and long term, to be updated annually.
The main results are seen in the gradual and balanced increase of the level of governance maturity in recent years, and reflect the following achievements:
